Our adventure starts when we pick you up from your hotel at 06:00 am in the morning and then transfer you to the Quenqo X-Zone. From here, we start our hike following the Inca Trail, arriving at the pass of Cencca (4200 m.a.s.l.) after a short while. We will enjoy a spectacular view of Cusco and then continue our hike in the flat area of the highland around Cusco (Puna).
During this undulating trail, we will be able to see many local people, their houses, and potato fields as you will be briefed on local people’s lifestyle and on agricultural practices such as Crop Rotation. Also, we will enjoy great views over the lagoons of Chinchero, Wila Wila, Queulla Cocha, and Kori Cocha. Until the highest point of our trek, the Huchuy Qosco Pass at 4400 m, we will discover many llama shepherds and farmers and then start to descend to our campsite at Pumamarca where we will spend the night at the ruins.

This day, we wake up early to enjoy the sunrise over the Andes! After breakfast we start our hike to the Inca control gate that brings us to a small narrow canyon, offering an extraordinary view while passing a small bridge over a great river with waterfalls. After crossing the canyon, we will be able to see how the landscape changes from dry hills into a forest (microclimate). We then keep descending along the river down to Huchuy Qosco, our main destination, traversing the mountain with its beautiful snow carpets and enjoying an incredible view over the Sacred Valley.
After all this beautiful scenery we will arrive to Huchuy Qosco and explore the citadel while your tour guide explains to you the most important features. Afterward, we will have some time to relax, to enjoy a little snack, or explore the Inca site by ourselves.
We then continue to descend to Lamay, a small town in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, where we will have our last lunch before taking the bus back to Cusco or to Ollantaytambo.
