Explore HUCHUY QOSQO TREK

This site is situated on a plateau with stunning views overlooking the Sacred valley and the snow-capped peaks of the Vilcabamba range.

The name Huchuy Qosqo means ‘little Cusco’ in the Quechua language. It’s an archaeological site north of Cusco that was a military and administrative centre to the Incas. Many believe the Spanish gave it this name as it resembled the city of Cusco a little.

You’ll explore this unique site as you enjoy a spectacular view over the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Along the hike you’ll see some wonderful views and experience Andean life in the mountains.

Our Horsemen & Horses In Huchuy qosqo Trek

All of our horsemen are from Patabamba, which is the starting point of our trek. We make sure to employ responsible people that are serious about what they do. This way, they do an excellent job at transporting everyone’s items along the trail with mules and are in charge of getting your gear safely to each campsite where it will be waiting for you.
Our horsemen are very content with us receiving a good salary and benefits at the end of each season. Peru Hike provides all the mountain gear and uniforms to the horsemen. These guys can be of great help in an emergency because they know the area and trail like the back of their hand.

Knowledgeable Tour Guides

Peru Hike relies on an extensive network of highly trained guides and expert ambassadors as a premise to guarantee excellence in our services. We are fully conscious that an excellent guide is key to making your trip a memorable
experience, which is why we are extremely demanding when recruiting and regularly training our guides.

Our Chefs

In all of our trekking trips, the chef ensures high-quality meals on time, an adequate diet both in its quality and quantity. The secret lies in the careful selection of our team of chefs, whose top-quality restaurant background,
creativity and passion for their jobs provide an unequalled touch to all of our meals. We do not have set menus since we wish to give our chefs the chance to create, innovate and surprise our clients through delicious dishes in every
trip.

The Best Trekking Food in Peru

We do not have set menus since we wish to give our chefs the chance to create, innovate and surprise our clients through delicious dishes in every trip. We provide general guidelines, guest information on dietary restrictions and
preferences and, most especially, the tools for a constant updating of our cooks’ knowledge in both Peruvian and International cuisine through specialization courses and training.

The Best Camping Equipment

Enjoy a good night’s sleep in our spacious Eureka tent. All our tents are built to be four man tents, but you will only have to share with one other trekker. This leaves a lot of room to spread out comfortably and store your duffels.
They are an A-frame design, with entrances on both sides of the tent. They also include a vestibule in front, giving you some extra outdoor space to leave your boots and walking sticks. We are proud to be the only company to use these
tents.

What to Expect on the Trail

Here’s a small guide regarding what to expect on the trek to help you better understand if it’s a good option for you or not.

Small Andean Villages

Along the route you’ll see some small communities that give you an excellent insight into what life is like high up in the hills.

Visit a Rarely Visited Site

The actual archaeological site of Huchuy Qosqo isn’t frequented by many visitors. It’s a great option for those who love an off the beaten path hike and to not be surrounded by many other tourists.

Beautiful Views

There’s no doubt that the Andes has a lot to offer in regards to spectacular landscapes, and the Huchuy Qosqo trek is no different. In fact, it offers some of the best as you get a great view over the Sacred Valley from up high.

Learn More About the Incas

This hike is a great opportunity to learn more about the Incas and their way of life. It’s perfect for history lovers.

Where is Huchuy Qosqo?

Huchuy Qosqo archaeological site sits high up in the Sacred Valley of the Incas above the small town of Lamay (2,800 masl / 9,186 fasl). It’s about one and a half hours from the city of Cusco. Its altitude is 3,650 masl / 11,800 fasl.

Difficulty Level

This trek is one of the easier ones in the Cusco region. It doesn’t ascend and descend as much as others and most of the terrain is in a relatively good state. However, you’ll still have the challenge of the altitude, so make sure to pace yourself.

Huchuy Qosqo Tips

Now for some tips to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Make sure you go on hikes back home in the few weeks leading up to your trip to be physically prepared.
In addition, start a daily exercise and stretching routine.
Get to Cusco a few days before you set off on the hike to make sure you’re properly acclimated.
Take it easy upon arrival in Cusco. Don’t drink alcohol and make sure you eat lightly. It’s also a good idea not to overexert yourself in the first couple of days.
The sun can be very strong this high up, so make sure you use the right protection and stay hydrated along the walk.
Go at your own pace. If you;re part of a bigger group, you don’t all need to walk at the same speed. Walking faster than you’re able to will tire you out quicker and can make you feel ill.

Recommendations

To have a carefree vacation and hike, take into consideration our recommendations for the Huchuy Qosqo trek.

Book Ahead

To avoid being let down upon arrival, book in advance. This will make sure that your tour operator has guides available. It will also save you worrying about having to find a space last minute when trying to enjoy your vacation.

Be Prepared

Take our advice and hike and exercise back home so you’re ready. Make sure you’re prepared for the altitude by speaking to your doctor back home and asking about the possibility of medication to help. Also make use of the coping methods available in Cusco including coca tea and oxygen.

Pack Lightly

Use our packing list to ensure you have everything you need, but don’t pack any more than that. You’ll be carrying your own bag, so don’t want it to weigh you down throughout the day.

Get Insured

Travel insurance is a must when hiking in Cusco. Health care is expensive if you need it and you won’t be able to go on treks if you can’t prove you have it.

Extra Snacks

Even though you’ll be well fed on the trip, it’s a good idea to have some extra energy boosting snacks in case you need them along the way. This could be anything from nuts and dried fruits to your favourite chocolate bar.
