From the Machu Picchu World / Places

Huchuy Qosqo

Huchuy Qosqo is a high-ridge Inca site reached by a serious hike. The journey needs its own day, separate from roadside Sacred Valley stops.

Huchuy Qosqo

Why go

The ruins reward the climb with an elevated view over the valley and a setting unlike the easily reached parks below. From Lamay, allow about three hours to hike in and another three hours to return; time among the buildings comes on top of that.

What to look for

  • Inca remains overlook the Sacred Valley from a high ridge.

Useful to know

  • Allow about three hours each way from Lamay, plus up to three hours among the ruins.
