Huchuy Qosqo Trek Description:

Huchuy Qosqo trek is organized for people who do not want to do much camping but still want to feel the charm of the Andes. On this tour we will see splendid landscape and learn about ancient history. We visit Huchuy Qosqo a popular Incan town built in the highest part of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It was the great palace of Inca Viracocha, father of Inca Pachacutec (the most important kings in the Incan Empire). It has stunning mountain scenery and furtile places to farm various agricultural products.
