Cusco: Trek to Huchuy Qosqo

Visit Us

Trek to Huchuy Qosqo

Difficulty rating:

Easy
 

A spectacularly situated Inca ruin whose Quechua name means 'little Cusco', Huchuy Qosqo (3,765m) can be visited by a rewarding day's hike from Cusco or the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It's also possible to spend a night camping in Pumamarca (3,963m) to see the sun rise over the Urubamba canyon before continuing on to visit other ruins or local markets.

The trek follows an old Inca road along the flank of a gaping ravine, passing rural communities under the watch of ever-present snowy peaks.

Nandu: Peaks and plains of patagonia | Tour rating: Excellent

This was mum & I's favourite day outing. This little hiked trail us breathtaking. The road up to patabamba is also breathtaking for different reasons as the single track sharp bends and vertical drops make for some interesting moments! Christian, our driver, did a great job navigating this safely. Rubin and a local man, Dante, set a good pace for us and patient with me endlessly snapping pictures. The ruins are extraordinary. The ath down is steep and would be slippery in the rain but we were lucky with the weather. A fantastic day. Would recommend to anyone who wants a taste of the Inca trail without the discomfort of camping!
