Huchuy Qosqo Trek 2 days takes you through the other Inca Trail to Huchuy Qosqo ruins, and then to Machu Picchu by train. This is a none popular 2-day-hike but one of the many ways to connect the wonder of the world. In fact, this is a less traveled route built by the Incas that used to link Cusco and this famous Inca village. However, the ancient buildings have remained isolated for years due to little access to the site and even until this days.
The Huchuy Qosqo Trek 2 Days to Machu Picchu allows you to enjoy nature, culture and archaeology. The scenic hike to Huchuy Qosqo also offers a peaceful atmosphere as you walk across the Andes Mountains. Additionally, the ancient trail offers a moderate and gentle difficulty with maximum altitude of 4,050 m. The six-hour hike also shows deep canyons, valleys, Andean villages and stunning landscapes of the sacred valley montain range.
The archaeological park of Huchuy Qosqo is located above the mountain top overlooking the sacred valley of the Incas. Enjoy the Huchuy Qosqo’s lonely and isolated ruins as you learn the history behind each group with our expert by your side. Unlike other famous Inca sites, this place is only accesible either hiking from Cusco or sacred valley. This adventure is perfect for those looking to escape the crowds and experience nature and history in the middle of the remoteness.
There are several routes to visit the Huchuy Qosqo ruins, but the one you take with us is entirely unique and original. The Huchuy Qosqo Trail is part of the Inca road network and has remained undiscovered to this very day. In other words, we are pioneers hiking and taking trekkers along this ancient pathway to Huchuy Qosqo Inca site. This tour begins at the andean town of Qenko and takes to the less explored Inca site, continues to Lamay in the sacred valley and eventually connects the Inca city of Machu Picchu.
The remote Inca site of Huchuy Qosqo shows temples, residences, fountains and agriculture terraces. Our 2-day hike to Huchuy Qosqo continues with a train trip to Machu Picchu town. This means, there is no need to use tents because your hotel is included in Aguas Calientes. This is perfect, so you can take a shower and sleep in comfort before visiting Machu Picchu on the next day.
In addition, our Short Inca Trail Tour extension is available. Like Huchuy Qosqo hike, this is another full-day adventure that can end in Machu Picchu. That is to say, you finish the Huchuy Qosqo Trek in Ollantaytambo, and continue with the Short Inca Trail on day two. The third day you take an exceptional guided tour of Machu Picchu and return to Cusco by train.
