HUCHUY QOSQO AND MACHU PICCHU: A SHORT WALK, AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!
If you’re looking for an Andean adventure that combines nature, history and the magic of Machu Picchu, but you’re short on time, this trek is perfect for you. In just two days, you’ll explore the mystical Huchuy Qosqo, an archaeological site known as “Little Cusco,” located high above the Urubamba Valley, from where you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the Vilcanota Mountains. Despite being the shortest trek (17 km), it offers an experience rich in culture and unique landscapes, with amazing examples of Inca steps that rival the famous Inca Trail.
This tour combines the best of the Andes: the tranquility of a hike at a lower altitude (4350 meters above sea level) in Huychuy Qosqo and the reward of reaching the majestic citadel of Machu Picchu. Embark on this short but intense adventure, full of dreamlike landscapes and an unforgettable connection with Inca history!
