Cusco, Tambomachay, Huchuy Qosqo, Sacred Valley of the Incas.
This trip is primarily aimed at people who:
Trekking to Huchuy Qosqo is either one full day or even two days. It all depends on our physical fitness and how acclimatized to the altitude you are. The highest points during the trek exceeds 4000 m above sea level. If you have been in the Andes for a few days, have a good physical condition and if you like to walk even 8-9 hours a day, you can start and end this trip on the same day.
ITINERARY:
In the ruins of Huchuy Qosqo
DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
The route is demanding and difficult when attempting it in one day. The first difficult section appears at the beginning, because you must climb at over 4,000 meters to the pass. Overcoming this part takes over an hour and is straight uphill. Once up there the route is mostly flat, undulating slightly with the land. The final one hour of the trek – from the ruins to the town of Lamy – is quite steep downhill. The trek takes around 8-9 hours what makes it a little bit more demanding. If you are not used to walking for many hours, it is better to do 2 day tour in that area.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is highly recommended to spend at least 2 days acclimatization before starting this trek (because the highest point is more than 4000 m above sea level). It is necessary to be in very good physical condition, because the trek (if you do it in one day) takes around 8-9 hours.
