If you are looking for 1 day trekking from Cusco, here we offer you our Huchuy Qosqo Trekking 1 day from Tambomachay, which is one of the archaeological sites that are normally visited in a traditional Cusco City Tour.
In this Huchuy Qosqo Tour we break the traditional, for a 1 day trekking route to Huchuyqosqo from Tambomachay, which usually this activity is done in two days, starting from 9am and ending the next day, instead our full challenge activity starts very early to conclude in lamay after having visited the following attractions:
This excursion involves approximately 8 hours of walking (including rests, lunch and a tour of the archaeological complex), crossing ecological levels such as quechua, suni and puna, with their characteristic flora and fauna.
We leave the city of Cuzco early in the morning, taking the road north towards the Sacred Valley of the Inkas. On the way to the town of Chinchero, we can appreciate the extensive fields of crops, which have been cultivated since ancient times. We travel along one of the Banks of the Piuray lagoon, to the community of Tauca (3762 masl / 12343 ft), where our walk begins.
We follow a disused dirt track, with a gentle gradient, to the Pucajasa Mountain Pass (4393 masl / 14413 ft), where we will have a spectacular view of the Urubamba mountain range. This pass is about 200 meters long. We begin our descent and find sections of Inka trail, and we can also appreciate radical changes in the ecological levels.
We arrive at Huchuyqosqo (3688 masl / 12099 ft), where we enjoy our snack-lunch. After a short descent, we begin our tour of the archaeological complex, after which we will descend to the town of Lamay (2938 masl / 9639 ft). Here we will board our transport back to the city of Cuzco.
