Day 1 Cusco-Huchuyqosqo Trek

The journey will start from there to the archaeological site of Hushuy Qosqo (3550m) for a 3 hours walk first until Pucaccasa (4100m), a little archaeological site where we will stop for lunch and rest for a while. We will then keep walking downhill on a nice track for 2 hours and have a wonderful view

over the Urubamba Valley before reaching Huchuy Qosqo where we will camp.

The bus will then take us to Lares and arrive 2 hours later exactly where are located the hot springs or medicinal baths. We will have plenty of time to enjoy the natural water and have dinner and will stay there overnight at the campsite (3250m).

Day 3 Lares – Ipsaycocha Laguna

Tent /Breakfast /Lunch /Dinner

We will have an early breakfast and get loads of energy for the long day awaiting for us, a 12km walk before reaching the next campsite.

First, we will take the local bus to Huacahuasi where we will start walking for about 4 hours until Ipsayccasa. Lunch will be taken half-way before arriving at the highest mountain of the walk (4400m). We will then walk downhill for about 1h30 and arrive at the campsite, which is close to the last ayllus. You will love this walk for all the animals you will see all along the way like Llamas and Alpacas but also for the Incan constructions.
