Huchuy Qosqo Trek 3 days

Huchuy Qosqo Trek, Machu Picchu & Homestay 3 days

Huchuy Qosqo trekking to Machu Picchu 3 Day Trek. This trek is fantastic if you have only a few days or you are looking for a suitable trek for your family, but who would still like to do a bit of trekking before they see Machu Picchu with fantastic views of mountains and the Andes.

It is the lowest in altitude (4150 meters) of the 3 alternative treks and also the shortest in distance (17 kilometers) but still sees some great examples of Inca Stairs and other Inca ruins along the way. As there are only 2 days of trekking, you will only camp for one night and then sleep in a hotel on the next night. 

This trek is ideal for those passengers who really want to be far in the middle of nowhere with only nature surrounding them as they camp in an area that is scarcely seen by tourists. Huchuy Qosqo (small Cusco) is situated above the Valley of Urubamba and offers very spectacular views over the mountain range Cordillera de Vilcanota.

This trek is also a great way for you to enjoy a shorter trek that still includes Machu Picchu and Inca trails (with Inca stairs that are better than the Inca Trail). You will have one night of camping in the wilderness and then the very next night will be spent in our hotel at Aguas Calientes.
