OVERVIEW
Our Huchuy Qosqo Hike is one of the shortest and least demanding treks to Machu Picchu. We have designed a unique package jam packed with enticing surprises. Look forward to just one full day of trekking, with the rest being a relaxed affair of exploration by private transportation and train. The picturesque hike follows a path that hugs the mountains side with stunning views of snow covered mountain tops, exotic vegetation that grows abundantly in this regions fertile soil and a sweeping view of the entire Sacred Valley of the Incas. The first night´s accommodation is spent in an isolated village, so you can fully immerse yourself in an untainted indigenous culture of Peru. Our homestay is conveniently located close to the seldom visited Inca site of Huchuy Qosqo, “Little Cusco”.
Our specially designed trip, includes three of the most popular destinations in the Sacred Valley, the Archeological site of Ollantaytambo, home to the last and hardest fought battles between the Inca Empire and the Spanish conquistadors, the experimental farming archeological site of Moray and the even more impressive Pre-Inca Maras Salt Mines. The tour culminates with a 2 hour guided tour of the iconic and incomparable Archeological site of Machu Picchu.
