Huchuy Qosqo Trek 3 Days

3 Days from $ USD 100.00

When booking with us, you’ll benefit from a low refundable deposit payment option

If you have limited time this is an excellent and moderate alternative trek to take. Though the trek is shorter than most others, you see lakes, llama and alpaca herds, small local villages, views of the Sacred Valley, and views of snow-capped mountains. Huchuy Qosqo (Small Cusco) crosses the high altiplano north of Cusco City with lakes like Qoricocha (Golden Lake) and small villages of llama herders where life continues untouched by the modern world, and finishes at the ruins of Huchuy Qosqo, high above the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
