Where the Mountains Touch the Sky and Time Stands Still

Navigating Peru's Remote Ruins: Choquequirao vs. Vilcabamba

Just got back from trekking to Choquequirao and I'm still trying to process the experience - it's a seriously off-the-beaten-path site with some of the best Inca stonework in the country. If you're planning a trip to Peru and want to explore some lesser-known ruins, I'd love to hear about your experiences or get advice on which ones to prioritize. What are the must-see sites for someone who's already been to Machu Picchu?
