Itinerary

DAY: CUSCO – HUCHUY QOSQO.

We will leave the city of Cusco very early, in our private vehicle, taking the road to the province of Urubamba, passing through Chinchero, here we will take a detour to reach the community of Tauka, the starting point of our walk.

We will have a few minutes to have breakfast and organize our backpacks. Here we will start our walk through Andean countries accompanied by flora and fauna of the area, we will ascend gently until we reach the highest point, we will be able to observe the presence of different animals, llamas, alpacas and sheep. From the highest point we can see the great Andes mountain range and the snowy peaks that accompany it. We will slowly descend on the plateau that dominates the mountain until we reach the ruins of Huchuy Cusco.

On this journey we will be able to observe and use part of the original Inca trail that linked the town of Chinchero with Huchuy Qosqo. The ruins are structures made of stone and adobe (mud brick). The beauty of this Inca town in the mountains is unique, with a magnificent location that dominates the entire sacred valley.

Here we can see the entrance road, its agricultural terraces, its water sources, palaces and houses for domestic use. After relaxing in the shade of the Qeuña (Polylepis) trees and having a delicious Andean lunch, we begin the zigzagging path up the mountainside, crossing the Urubamba River, where our private bus will take us back to Cusco in the afternoon.
