Two Days |
|
DAY 1 This hike starts near Chinchero which we reach by car. We start walking in Alpachaca along the shore of lake Piuray towards the village of Tauca. Before reaching Tauca, we take a narrow path ascending a small valley which lead to the first pass we have to cross. On clear days, the view from this pass is magnificent, and we can see the Vilcanota ranges and the sacred mountain of Ausangate. Walking on over the mountain range we spot a small lake to our right and below, where we can have lunch while watching the llamas. We continue on over another pass which again provides some superb views. We start our descent into the Sacred Valley. A bit further down, the trail becomes quite narrow and overgrown. Once we reach a small stream, we follow it down to several Inca teracces. Lower down we come to a ruin, the gateway to Huchuy Qosqo. It takes about 45 more minutes to reach Huchuy Qosqo from this point. Following the trail we arrive at a small overgrown plateau and, looking over the edge, are rewarded with our first view of the ruins of Huchuy Qosqo. We zig-zag down the gorge and cross the stream again before reaching the ruins. Our camp is set up near this site of cultural heritage. Dinner is prepared and our sleeping bag awaits us. DAY 2 We spend some time looking around and listening to our guide explain the history of these ruins. After our visit, we head towards the small town of Lamay. Here our driver will pick us up and take us back to the hotel.
