Huchuy Qosqo

The Huchuy Qosqo Trek takes you to the lovely trek to the lesser-known Inca site of Huchuy Qosqo. This site is situated on a plateau with stunning views overlooking the Sacred valley and the snow-capped peaks of the Vilcabamba range.

The day starts by driving to the small town of Corao, around 30 minutes from Cusco, before branching off the road into the high Andes and the tiny village of Qoricocha at (4,050 m / 13,287 ft). It is at this location where the Huchuy Qosqo trailhead is located.

This trail will first take you to the little village of Sihua, then up to the Pukamarca pass (4,150 m / 13,615 ft), overlooks the village with the same name. Here, you will have a splendid viewpoint of the Urubamba mountain range and the Sacred Valley. After reaching the top of the pass, there is a 2 km / 0.6 mile (approximately 30 minute) downhill hike to the Pumamarka Community for lunch.

After lunch, you will continue your trek to the Puma Puncu canyon ( “the puma door” ). From here, you will hike along an original Incan trail, which has be restored as part of the Qapacñan project. This trail will lead you to the isolated and mysterious Inca site of Huchuy Qosqo (“the little Cusco’’) perched above the Sacred Valley of the Incas at (3,600 m / 11,811 ft). Once in the site, your guide will walk you through and show you all the site’s amazing Inca buildings like sacred temples, storehouses, Inca terraces for agriculture and the Inca reservoir used to store water during the dry season.

After your guided tour of the site, we will begin our 2-hour walk downhill to the village of Lamay (2,800 meters) by the Urumbamba River in the Sacred Valley, where a bus will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Cusco.

Information Before leaving for the Huchuy Qosqo Trek

We want to make your trip to Peru as memorable and as easy as possible. In this section, you will find speedy answers to all those questions you had about Huchuy Qosqo Trek in one place. Please read the following information carefully – it will help you with any questions about our services.

Has another question that we haven’t answered here? Drop us a line, and we will get back to you asap!

Briefing or informative meeting

All information meetings are held in your hotel at 6:00 p.m., one night before the tour begins. If you cannot attend, you must coordinate another time at the (Peru Hike) offices. These meetings last approximately 30 to 45 minutes and there you will be given a small duffel bag, in which you’ll put all the belongings you intend to bring on the trek that won’t be in your day pack.

Payment of Trek Balance (in Cusco)

The trek has to be paid for in full by at least 7.30 pm two days before departure. For example, if your tour departs on a Wednesday, then you must come to our office before 7.30 pm on Monday.

It would be much appreciated if you pay the trek balance in cash US dollars or local currency. You can withdraw some money from several ATMs along Avenida Sol (either in US dollars or local Peruvian Soles). You can pay by credit card or PAYPAL online, but you will have to pay an 6% service charge, charged by VISA and PAYPAL. We do not accept bank checks or payment of the balance by traveler’s checks.

Can I store my luggage at your office?

Of course! During the travel, your main luggage can be stored at our office or at your hotel, both free of charge.

Any equipment that you are not going to need on the trek can be stored safely in your hotel. Nearly every hotel will provide this service. Don’t leave items of value with your bags, put them in the hotel safe and obtain an itemized receipt (In the unlikely case of theft many insurance companies require that you have a copy of the receipt itemizing all the items). Best put items such as credit cards inside a sealed, signed envelope for extra peace of mind.

Pick up of guests

Peru Hike Company can pick you up from your hotel, as long as it’s in the Historic Center of Cusco. The pickup time will be coordinated with your guide in the briefing. The pickup time may vary between 30 and 45 minutes due to traffic. Cusco is a very old city, therefore, it has many narrow cobbled streets. Some hotels and Airbnbs may be located on streets without access to cars or on long, steep slopes, making it difficult to transport luggage. We strongly recommend that you book accommodation with good access.

Group tours

Group tours are made up of different types of people. Physical conditions and ages can vary. By agreeing to be part of a group tour, you also accept that some people may be faster or slower than you. Therefore, each person can go at their own pace on the route. It may be the case that a group wishes to modify the tour; however, it will be the guide who decides, after consulting with all the participants, if said modifications can be made.

Strikes and demonstrations

Strikes and demonstrations are usually frequent in Peru and this may interrupt some of our tours. Roads can be blocked and train tracks can be taken over. However, we will try to keep your excursion as planned, even if it means leaving the night before the scheduled date. Under these circumstances, tours may also be cancelled. In case of changes or cancellations, all situations will be coordinated with you by our operations department. Your safety is our highest priority and our decisions will be made to protect it.

Lost objects

You’re responsible for your objects during the tour. Please pay attention to where you leave your things and remember to take everything once you leave our trucks, tents, or restaurants.

I joined the Huchuy Qosqo Trek with Peru Hike, and it was one of my favorite days in Peru. The organization was flawless, and our guide Edgar Huanca was full of energy and passion. The views from the top of Huchuy Qosqo were unreal, and I appreciated how professional and caring the entire team was. Truly a 5-star experience!

Our experience with Peru Hike on the Huchuy Qosqo 1-Day Trek was perfect. The team was so organized, and our guide Walter Sairitupac made the journey magical with his deep knowledge of Inca history. The scenery was spectacular — snowcapped peaks, lagoons, and ancient ruins. It felt like a private adventure through the Andes!

Fantastic experience with Peru Hike! The hike to Huchuy Qosqo was peaceful and full of amazing scenery. Our guide Cristian Lazo was professional, friendly, and full of fascinating stories about the Inca Empire. Everything was very well organized — from the early pickup to the drop-off in Cusco. I would definitely book with them again

We booked the Huchuy Qosqo 1-day trek and from pick-up to drop-off everything ran smoothly. Our guide (English speaking) was friendly, very knowledgeable about Inca engineering and local culture. The trail followed part of the original Inca road and finished at the ruins of Huchuy Qosqo with a breathtaking view over the Sacred Valley. The lunch box was good, and the descent to Lamay was well timed. We felt like we had a full experience without the crowds at Machu Picchu. Highly recommended.

I joined this trek as a solo traveler and loved every moment. Franklin Navarro’s team made me feel welcome and safe from start to finish. Our guide, Julio, explained everything about the Inca terraces and the royal palace of Viracocha. The path was quiet and beautiful, perfect for taking photos. Lunch by the lake was delicious! If you want to explore the authentic side of the Andes, this is the tour to choose.
