The ruins of Huchuy Qosqo sit on a small plateau high above the Sacred Valley offering a spectacular view of the mountains on the other side of the valley as well as the river and towns below. This hike gives you the great opportunity to trek through the mountains and Inca canyons before reaching these impressive Inca ruins that because of their remoteness, few travelers take the time to visit.

We will pick you up from your hotel at 6:00 am and will drive out of Cusco, Pass by the town of Chinchero and close to the Piuray Lagoon as you head towards the town of Tauca, taking a mountain road to the village of Tauca where we will start our hike and which is at 3,700 meters or 12,000 feet. We will first walk through this village, passing by local houses and farming areas. We will then reach a stream and after we will hike uphill for about an hour until we are granted a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and valleys.We are going to take a short break after that we will continue hiking up to get to the Pukaccasa pass, the highest point on the trail.

We follow this path into a small canyon with a rushing stream at the bottom. Here we will start seeing Inca architecture and terraces as well as a large Inca gate. We will continue through the canyon until we reach a lookout point of the Sacred Valley below. We will follow this path around the mountain and the see the first impressive terraces of Huchuy Qosqo.
