HUCHUY QOSQO

3 days / 2 nights

Day 1: Cuzco – Tambomachay – Pumamarca (L, D)

We start in Cusco by car going to the ruins of Tambomachay (3700 meters). From here we follow the main road, it curves sharply up hill to reach a pass of near 4200 meters.

We follow it down into a valley and through the small community at the bottom. As we descend along the trail you will see a beautifully green valley stretching away. The path we see on its right slope leads to Pisaj. Passing through the village and across a new bridge the trail takes us up over the second pass at around 4300 meters into high open country. On the route we will see Lake Qoricocha (Golden Lake in Quechua) We continue along this clear trail, arriving at the highest point of the trek, at 4350 meters. Finally, we descend towards the Pucamarca community at 4010m/13153ft, where we arrive in the late afternoon. Here we dine and camp through the night.

Day 2: Huchuy Qosqo – Lamay – Cuzco (B, L)

Just below the village the valley narrows to form a ravine where an Inca staircase will lead us down to the magnificent citadel of Huchuy Qosqo. Huchuy Qosqo is perched above the Urubamba Valley, overlooking the little town of Lamay. It was an administrative center such us Pisaj and has fine buildings made with stone and there is one which is a unique example paved with stones perfectly fitted. On the hillsides there are granaries since it was also an important agricultural center. Continuing along this magnificent path, with Pitusiray looming aside us in the valley we will eventually pass an Inca stone and adobe gateway. This was the entrance to the ruins of Huchuy Qosqo for people who climbed up from the Urubamba Valley. Lamay is a town dedicated to agriculture and cattle rising. Later in the afternoon, our private transport drives us back to Ollantaytambo and we take the train to  Aguas Calientes where we  will sleep in a hostal.  

Day 3: Machu Picchu – Cuzco (B)

We will have our breakfast around 5:00 am and then we will go to the Santuary Historic of Machupicchu and then we will make the tour around 2:00 pm. At the appropriate time we board the bus to Aguas Calientes and then the train to Cusco.
