It is amazing at all the stuff in Peru that the white red hair and beared people built there. they taught so much to the INCA's when the INCA's first came there. They taught them how to grow corn and build the structures there. I really like the White ChaChaPoya structures. Inca and Aztec legend says the white Vircocha people will one day came back to peru from across the water.

@EastPointDrinker

It's really misleading to include "white" in your statement.

These fringe theories with virtually no support aside from far-out implications are damaging our modern studies of culture. We have the same "white" people who supposedly created the first chinese dynasty, New Zealand, Inca Empire... Along with other ethnocentrist. It's sad that people are trying to take credit of other culture's creation.

I wonder where the Red hair, beareded, white people inca people went? The Inca Elite was white, red haired people with beards. I wonder if any of the Inca elite had any descendants today.

Choquequirao is wonderful, the city is an inspiring example of an elite Inca ceremonial center, dedicated to the worship of the mountain gods, the river and the elements of nature.

Choquequirao (Southern Quechua: Chuqi K'iraw, Cradle of Gold) is a partly excavated ruined city of the Inca in the south of Peru. It bears a striking similarity in structure and architecture to Machu Picchu and is referred to as its 'sister'. Choquequirao receives far fewer tourists than its sister but the ruin is no less delightful and is a good alternative to the sometimes overcrowded Machu Picchu.
