HUCHUY QOSQO TREK 2 DAYS

At 6 am, travelers are picked up from their hotels in our private transportation and driven to the interesting village of Tauca. We will start the uphill hike for 3 hours, and once we reach the mountain peak, there will be breathtaking views of the high peaks of the Vilcanota mountain range. We will then continue our downhill hike, passing through fields and pastures where animals graze. Around Huchuy Qosqo, we will encounter the typical flora of the area and follow a beautiful Inca trail to the famous Inca site. Upon arrival at the Inca Site, our guide will share the history of this place. Huchuy Qosqo, at an elevation of 3,650m/11,975ft (which means “Little Cuzco”), is a remarkable Inca complex. It features finely crafted stone works in large buildings such as the Kallanka (rectangular hall), some residential and defensive neighborhoods made of stone and adobe. Huchuy Qosqo is situated on a plateau, surrounded by Inca agricultural terraces, and offers excellent views of the Vilcanota mountain range. Afterwards, we will descend to Lamay at an elevation of 2,900m/9,514ft, where we will take our transportation to the Ollantaytambo train station that will take us to the town of Aguas Calientes for an overnight stay.
