Your Huchuy Qosqo Trek to Machu Picchu 2 Days begins early in the morning with pick-up from your hotel or accommodation in Cusco.
You will travel by tourist transportation toward the highlands surrounding Cusco, where the trekking route begins. During the drive, the scenery gradually changes from the city to open Andean landscapes, agricultural fields, traditional communities, and mountain terrain.
Upon arrival at the trailhead, your professional guide will provide a short briefing about the route, weather conditions, safety recommendations, and the historical importance of the area.
The trek then begins through high-Andean landscapes, following ancient paths and mountain trails with views of valleys, farmland, and surrounding peaks.
As you continue, the route leads toward Huchuy Qosqo, an impressive archaeological complex located above the Sacred Valley. Upon arrival, you will explore the site with your guide and learn about its stone and adobe structures, agricultural terraces, ceremonial spaces, and connection with the Inca period.
After the guided visit, you will begin the descent toward the Sacred Valley, enjoying panoramic views along the way.
At the end of the trek, transportation will be waiting to take you to the corresponding train station.
You will then board a tourist train to Aguas Calientes / Machu Picchu Pueblo.
Upon arrival, our team will assist you with your hotel check-in and provide the information you need for the following day’s Machu Picchu visit.
