Itinerario

Check out the itinerary for our 2 day Huchuy Qosqo Inca Glamping Tour to Macchu Picchu below:

A medida que atravesamos el pueblo, el sendero vuelve a subir hasta un segundo collado (4.300 metros), que nos lleva a través de vastos paisajes abiertos. Por el camino pasaremos por el pintoresco lago Qoricocha (lago dorado en quechua), que ofrece unas vistas impresionantes de las montañas que nos rodean.

As we move through the village, the path climbs again to a second pass (4,300 meters), taking us through vast, open landscapes. We will pass the picturesque Lake Qoricocha (Golden Lake in Quechua) along the way, offering stunning views of the mountains around us.

The final descent brings us to Huchuy Qosqo (3,650 meters), where we’ll arrive in the late afternoon to set up camp or stay with a local family, enjoying dinner under a sky filled with stars.

  • Hiking time: 6 hours
  • Meals: Lunch and dinner included

Huchuy Qosqo está enclavado sobre el valle del Urubamba, con vistas al pueblo agrícola de Lamay, conocido por su agricultura y ganadería. Antiguo centro administrativo inca, Huchuy Qosqo presenta una mezcla de estructuras de piedra y adobe que muestran la impecable mampostería del estilo inca.

A medida que seguimos el sendero escénico con la imponente montaña Pitusiray como telón de fondo, nos encontraremos con una antigua puerta de piedra y adobe - la entrada original a Huchuy Qosqo para los que ascendían desde el valle del Urubamba.

From Lamay, our private transport will take us to explore the remarkable sites of Maras Moray and the Salt Mines, as well as the colonial town of Chinchero. We expect to return to Cusco by around 6 pm.

  • Meals: Breakfast and lunch included

Notes: 

  • This itinerary is subject to change based on weather conditions and group preferences. 
  • From Chinchero to Lamay we are accompanied by porters or horsemen and mules that will carry all camping equipment.

Preguntas frecuentes

We recommend that you pack with care when preparing to embark on this magical trek. The weather in the Andes can be extremely changeable so we recommend:

  • Hiking boots. Make sure that these are comfortable enough and they give you appropriate support as you will be walking for several days. The last thing you want to ruin your trek is blisters or foot sores!
  • Warm clothing. The Andes often drops below freezing at night due to the fact that you are at high altitude. Make sure that you bring hats, gloves, scarfs and warm apparel with you to guard against the cold. 
  • Waterproofs. We recommend bringing water protective wear which is both light and insulated. Depending on the season, you might want to bring a light waterproof in the dry season, whilst a heavier waterproof for the rainy-season. Check with your guide if you are unsure on what to bring. 
  • Small rucksack. This smaller rucksack is for travelling during the day. Your guide will ensure that your larger bags and heavier equipment which you do not require for hiking is taken on horseback to the next stop ahead of you so you have it at the end of each day.
  • Altitude sickness tablets. We always recommend bringing altitude sickness tablets with you when travelling to places which are often hundreds of metres about sea-level. 
  • Torch or flashlight. We recommend bringing a torch with you so that you are able to see where you are going at night. It’s not a good idea to fumble around in the dark without seeing where you are going!

We understand that sometimes your plans may change due to unforeseen circumstances. If you make a booking but then wish to cancel it, the following cancellation policies apply:

Yes. We always recommend that you take out an insurance policy before travelling. We do not cover you on our insurance policy and we require you to sign a waiver prior to travelling for any damages, injuries etc that may occur on your trip. 

However, you can rest assured in the knowledge that our experienced guides will ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable trip.
