Day 1 Cusco – Tambomachay – Huchuy Qosqo

We will begin the tour with an early morning pick up from your hotel, at 6.30 am, to drive right over to Tambomachay (pueblo) (3800 m.). The day’s hike will start at this point, and will continue through puna landscapes and over the Sicllaccasa Pass at 4020m/13186ft. Descending down the other side, we will hike along a path that leads to the Ccauca ravine, where we encounter archaeological remains and wild crops, such as tarwi, and a large quantity of cacti. We continue on to the Queullococha pass at 4185m/13727ft, where we may enjoy views of the lake with the same name. Surrounding the area are the immense mountains, Veronica, Pitusiray, Chicon and San Juan snow peaks.

Continuing the path, we will walk past the Queullococha Lake, where we may see huallatas, ducks and small fish, to then climb towards the Challu Challu pass at 4220m/13842ft. From this point, we observe the Chinchero planes and the Piuray and Qoricocha lagoons. We then ascend towards the fourth pass at Rumicruz at 4230m/13874ft and enjoy a panoramic view of the Qoricocha and the Vilcanota snow capped range. Here we rest and eat lunch. We then make our way to the Inca rock quarry at 4220m/13842ft, which was the place from where the rocks were extracted to build Huchuy Qosqo. Finally, we will descend towards the beautiful, remote Andean pueblo, Pukamarca at 4010m/13153ft, where we stop and have a short break.

As get back on the move, we will walk downhill into a mystical ancient path, towards the Leon Punku ravine, where we will find remains various Inca bridges and trails. This canyon is absolutely magical and boasts geological formations surrounded by majestic rocks and boulders that direct the river to Huchuy Qosqo at 3600m/11808ft, where we will soon be arriving. Upon our arrival to the ruins in the evening, we will actually continue on past the ruins and to our accommodations for the night. We will have dinner and rest until morning.
