Introduction
The hike to Machu Picchu via the Huchuy Qosqo Route is one of the shortest treks in Cusco, covering a total of 22 kilometers. This route is designed for those who have limited time but still wish to experience a walking tour before reaching the great Inca city of Machu Picchu. It is ideal for those who enjoy being in contact with nature, away from the hustle and bustle.
During the hike, we will have the opportunity to see remnants of Inca constructions, leading up to Huchuy Qosqo, an ancient Inca royal palace. Huchuy Qosqo, which means “Small Cusco” in Quechua, is located in the mountains of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. From this vantage point, you can enjoy an impressive panoramic view of the entire Vilcanota mountain range with its imposing snow-capped peaks.

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!
