Huchuy Qosqo Trek 2 Days

Land trip from Cusco to Qoricocha – Hike to Huchuy Qosqo – Overnight in Aguas Calientes

Walking through the mountains is one of the impressive satisfactions that human beings have to de-stress with sports hiking along the trails of Huchuy Qosqo in the requested vacations in PERU.

We start the land trip from Cusco to the Qoricocha lagoon located at the heights of Chinchero. We begin the walk until we reach the Tres Cruces pass, where we find the well-signposted path to descend to the ruins of Pucamarca, León Punku, and reach the spectacular Inca site of Huchuy Qosqo. Arriving at Huchuy Qosqo, we enter the Royal Inca Trail to have a magnificent entrance to the Temple of the Condor, with its esplanade facing the sacred valley.

Reaching Huchuy Qosqo

As you ascend further, the ancient ruins of Huchuy Qosqo will gradually come into view, perched majestically on a mountainside. Marvel at the ingenious architecture and ceremonial centers that offer glimpses of the Incas’ spiritual beliefs and social structure. The sight is awe-inspiring and will ignite your curiosity about the rich historical tapestry of the region.

In the afternoon, we board our vehicle near LAMAY to go to the Ollantaytambo station. We board the train service at night to reach the town of AGUAS CALIENTES.
