Huchuy Qosqo Trek

HUCHUY QOSQO TREK

CHINCHERO, PIURAY LAGOON, HUCHUY QOSQO

An excellent option for trekkers with too little time to go for a longer trek, yet avid to hike on an Inca path first hand. The varied landscape and incredible views make this challenging trek an exciting experience.

Huchuy Qosqo (“Little Cusco”) at 3600 meters (11,800 feet), north of Cusco, facing the imposing Vilcanota Mountain range in the Sacred Valley. Originally called Kakya Qawani, built during the reign of Viracocha. It comprises a ceremonial open center, the Kallanka (Great Wall) 40m long, grain storage structures, and a long-lasting Inca-built irrigation channel, lined with stones for about 800m, that provides water to the site. An important agricultural and administrative center along with Pisac during the Inca period.

Huchuy Qosqo can only be reached by foot or horse riding. The access from Tauca is 3 hours long, more or less, up to a mountain pass of 4500m, and then you hike your way down through a rocky and dusty path to Huchuy Qosqo. Horseback ride or two-day hike to Huchuy Qosqo are available at request.

Exceptional service and highly satisfied We had a wonderful experience in Peru all thanks to Auri Peru Travel and Lizbeth, who the main co-ordinator at Auri. Right from the initial discussions over WhatsApp texts/calls to planning to eventually executing on those plans - Auri was in constant and seamless communication with us. They were open to any questions and flexible in making changes to the itinerary. The guides that they offered were very experienced and offered deep history and perspectives beyond typical information. The hotels they booked were phenomenal as well. Once in Peru, alongside our guides, Auri was in constant communication and checking in on our well being. Overall, we are very happy with their services and would highly recommend them if anyone is planning for a comprehensive, well guided and pleasurable trip to Peru.

Life time experience! This is once in lifetime experience ! total package was unbelievably organized. Combination of the people , food & the tracking --made this journey so memorable. Lizbeth was at the behind of all & she is just awesome! This is really a tough trail & the guide is very crucial. She customize guide as per the capability of the tracker. I was a bit slow, not that much fit , she tagged me with small group & amazing guide. The guide was so friendly & explained history, cultures in such a way i still remember. Lizbeth also planned my another perfect visit to the salad de Uni, Bolivia. Many thanks Liz for everything. Words are not enough to express how grateful i am. Hope to see you again for Galapagos!

Amazing privately guided trip around Peru with my family Dear Lizbeth My family and I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible trip you arranged for us in Peru. It was an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever. From the mesmerizing wildlife in Iquitos to the enchanting Tree House Lodge in the jungle, the breathtaking views of Machu Picchu, and the unique way of living on the Floating island in Lake Titicaca, every moment was filled with wonder and excitement. We were also captivated by the historical places in Cusco, which added a perfect blend of culture to our journey. We were genuinely impressed by the seamless organization of all the excursions. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly caring, professional, and friendly, making us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the trip. The drivers ensured our safety, and the transport vans were so comfortable that we hardly felt the hours spent in the minivans. Your preparation of the program and valuable advice were essential to the success of our trip. Your prompt and informative responses to all our questions were truly appreciated. It was reassuring to receive the evening messages to check on our well-being and ensure smooth check-ins for flights. Your care made us feel special and well taken care of. As a travelers, we can confidently say that this was one of the best-organized tours we've ever experienced. The quality of the tour was outstanding, and we have you to thank for that. Moreover, all the hotels and places you recommended were excellent, adding to the overall enjoyment of the trip. Your recommendations were spot-on, and we thank you for guiding us to such wonderful accommodations and experiences. Lizbeth, you are a super professional, and your dedication to your job is evident in every aspect of the trip. Your passion, love, and care for what you do make you stand out as an exceptional travel manager. We are incredibly grateful for your efforts and highly recommend both you and your travel agency to anyone seeking an unforgettable journey. Once again, thank you for creating memories that will stay with us forever. Thanks 🙏😍

Excellent service from our private tour company Auri Peru Travels - Unique experience in Peru. We hired Auri Peru travel for our 8 day visit to Peru and were extremely happy with it. Starting from the bookings we had nothing but positive experience. Lizbeth was very nice to work with and very flexible. From the day we left for Peru she was in touch with us on daily basis to ensure our journey was going pleasant. When we reached Cusco airport, Auri Peru Travel's English speaking guide picked us up on time and our journey started. All hotels in the trip were excellent with good service. The driver and guide both were very flexible and accommodating whether it's stopping for food or asking them to visit the local vegetable/fruit market to try local fruits. End to end the experience was a true 5-star experience and I strongly suggest Auri Peru Travel for your travel needs in Peru.

Best of Peru with Auri Peru I had a private tour right after covid and I loved how they took care of all safety measures and make sure I knew all rules and regulations. The guides were amazing and very flexible to my plans and timing.

Magnificent Adventure Auri Peru Travel provided for me the best experience while visiting the Cusco region, arranging many activities to see the ancient ruins of Maccu Picchu, many points of the Sacred Valley, Hike of Rainbow Mountian.....even Lizbeth and Juan gave great recommendations for food in Aguas Calientes and Cusco. This was in my top 3 adventures so far in my life.....Saudi Arabia and Egypt are the other two, just so you can have a gage on magnificence.

AWESOME PERUVIAN ADVENTURE! Hi, we traveled to Perú on April of this year, we visited Cusco region and the Jungle. Logistics in Perú can be hard, so we decided to book with a reputable company in the area. So, we contacted Auri Peru Travel and from the beginning to the end they allways showed profesionalism. We spent 12 days in Perú and WOW! We completely enjoyed our time there. The tour guides, transportation, meals, hotels. EVERYTHING was the best! We really enjoyed our trip and if come back to South America, definitely we will book with AURI PERU again. Thank you for this memorable experience!.
