Caminata a Huchuy Qosqo - 3 Días / 2 Noches

Your adventure begins with pickup from your hotel in Cusco. We then travel to the starting point of the trek, which may be Tambomachay, Patabamba, or a nearby area depending on the confirmed route. From the very beginning, you'll enjoy a quieter side of Cusco, surrounded by mountains, open fields, and ancient trails leading away from the city.

After a short briefing from your guide, we'll begin hiking along scenic high-Andean trails. Along the way, you'll pass rural landscapes, traditional communities, grazing fields, small lagoons, and spectacular mountain views that define this unique route. We'll hike at a comfortable pace, with plenty of opportunities to rest, hydrate, and take in the scenery.

The first day offers an authentic introduction to Andean life. Depending on the route, we may pass through local villages where families continue practicing traditional farming and herding. Your guide will share insights into the region's culture, history, and the importance of these ancient pathways.

In the afternoon, we'll arrive at our campsite or accommodation, where a freshly prepared dinner awaits. After dinner, you'll have time to relax and prepare for the following day's adventure.

Upon arrival, you'll enjoy a guided tour of the Huchuy Qosqo Archaeological Site. Meaning "Little Cusco" in Quechua, this remarkable Inca complex features agricultural terraces, finely crafted stone and adobe buildings, ceremonial areas, and breathtaking panoramic views across the Sacred Valley.

After exploring the site, we'll descend to Lamay or another nearby village in the Sacred Valley. Depending on your confirmed itinerary, we'll continue to Ollantaytambo to board the train to Aguas Calientes, where you'll spend the night before visiting Machu Picchu the following day.

Upon arrival, you'll enjoy a professionally guided tour of Machu Picchu, following the circuit assigned with your entrance ticket. Your guide will share the history, architecture, engineering, and cultural significance of the Inca citadel while leading you through its most important sectors. You'll also have time to take photos and appreciate the breathtaking mountain scenery surrounding the sanctuary.
