The Huchuy Qosqo trek to Machu Picchu remains off the beaten path and has amazing scenery. You will have stunning views of local mountain villages, encounter many animals such as llamas and alpacas, observe dramatic mountain peaks and a variety of local flora and fauna. You will meet the local people in rural villages and have a first hand look at life in the high Peruvian Andes, as well as walk along the footpaths of the ancients on the Inca Trail.
The signature archeological site of this trek is Huchuy Qosqo (3,600 m/11,800 ft). We will arrive at this site on Day 1 and camp there. A comprehensive tour will occur on the morning of Day 2. This site provides a picturesque environment to see examples of the master architecture of the Incas. From this location the view of the Sacred Valley and Urubamba Mountain range will take your breath away.
