The Tour Huchuy Qosqo to Machupicchu

Huchuy Qosqo Trek – Path to Machu Picchu

The beginning of this unforgettable hike to the archaeological site of Huchuy Qosqo starts in the heart of the Sacred Valley. Departing from Urubamba toward Chinchero, the trail offers from the very first moment a perfect combination of nature, living culture, and stunning Andean landscapes.

A Beginning Among Lagoons and Andean Communities

The hike passes through the peaceful community of Cúper Alto, where traditional Andean rural life remains intact, and continues toward the impressive Piuray Lagoon, a true natural paradise surrounded by mountains.
This body of water is home to various bird species and is an ideal place for outdoor activities such as kayaking, while also offering spectacular views of the high Andean environment.

An Ancient Inca Trail Through the Mountains

The route, approximately five hours of hiking, follows an ancient Inca Trail that gradually ascends until reaching a small Andean pass. From there, the landscape changes, and the path enters a narrow and mysterious stone canyon, creating a unique and immersive atmosphere.
This section is one of the most special parts of the trek, where nature seems to embrace the hiker with every step.

Arrival at Huchuy Qosqo: The Hidden Citadel

Finally, the trail leads to the impressive archaeological complex of Huchuy Qosqo, located at around 3,600 meters (11,800 ft) above sea level. This Inca site, whose name means “Little Cusco,” is one of the lesser-known yet most fascinating treasures of the Inca Empire.
Despite its historical importance and privileged location, it remains a relatively uncrowded destination, allowing visitors to enjoy it in a peaceful atmosphere and with a deep connection to the surroundings.

Breathtaking Views

From the upper part of the archaeological complex, the view is simply spectacular. The citadel stretches across a wide plateau on the edge of a natural cliff, offering panoramic views of:

  • The majestic Sacred Valley of the Incas
  • The winding Urubamba River
  • The imposing Vilcanota mountain range
  • It is one of the best natural viewpoints in the region, ideal for photography and quiet contemplation.

A Hidden Gem of Cusco

Huchuy Qosqo is much more than an archaeological site—it is a hidden stronghold that preserves the essence of the Andean world, far from mass tourism and in perfect harmony with nature.
This trek not only connects you to Machu Picchu, but also to the living history of the Peruvian Andes.
