3-Day Huchuy Qosqo Trek to Machupicchu

The Huchuy Qosqo Trek to Machu Picchu is a scenic and culturally rich 3-day trek through the Sacred Valley of the Incas. This trek combines stunning landscapes, historical Inca sites, and a visit to the world-famous Machu Picchu. The journey begins in Cusco, where travelers are transferred to Tambomachay and begin their trek through picturesque Andean villages like Patabamba and Pukamarka. Along the way, hikers explore ancient Inca ruins such as Huchuy Qosqo, perched high above the Sacred Valley with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The trek continues through rugged terrain to Ollantaytambo, from where travelers take the scenic train to Aguas Calientes. On the fourth day, the highlight of the journey takes place: a visit to the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu. This trek offers a mix of adventure, culture, and history, providing an alternative to the traditional Inca Trail with fewer crowds and unique experiences.
