It is considered the ‘Sister City of Machu Picchu’ because of its similarities to the Inca City.
Indeed, its architecture is as impressive as that of Machu Picchu. It has numerous Inca buildings, its most important buildings are made of quartzite, cut with great detail. The rest of the walls are made of rough stone. These walls were covered with clay both inside and out and it is believed that the walls of Choquequirao were painted light orange.
