Return details
archaeological site of Huchuycosco, finishing in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
We will drive to a little mountain community in between Cusco and
the Sacred Valley. We will start our hike ascending approximately 1.5 km until we reach
the highest point of the day, were we will get amazing views of the cordillera Vilcanota
and the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The trail will then take us along creeks and agricultural terraces, facing the Vilcanota river and the Urubamba mountain range until we arrive to Pukamarca. In this ¨Red Village¨, we will meet the Inca Trail hidden by a narrow and biodiverse gully, with water channels, ancient stairs and bridges, as well as other archaeological remains in between a breathtaking nature. We will arrive to Huchuycosco, an important tambo (strategic military and religious site) in the heights of the Sacred Valley. History tells that this was the refugee of the Inca Wiracocha, defeated by the Chancas, who
invaded the city of Cusco, until his son Pachacutec beat them and recovered Cusco for
the Incas.
