Huchuy Qosqo Trek 3 Day with Machu Picchu Tour

This trek lasts three days and provides a straightforward choice for travelers. It includes views of large valleys and small towns that few visitors reach. The path follows sections of old Inca routes and passes by high peaks covered in snow. People with limited schedules or those new to hiking often select this option.

During the walk, participants see natural areas with plants and animals typical of the region. The route stays away from crowded paths, allowing for a quieter experience. At the end, the group reaches a major Inca site known worldwide.

Local people in the areas visited maintain their ways of life from past times. Travelers interact with them and observe daily activities. This adds a cultural aspect to the physical part of the trip.

The path starts from a point that offers sights of water flows and frozen areas on mountains. It continues through flat and sloped grounds. The total distance covers moderate lengths each day.

Guides share facts about past events and building methods at the sites. They point out features like water systems and storage places. This helps understand how ancient groups lived.

The journey combines walking with rides in vehicles and on rails. Stops include places for meals and rest. Safety measures are in place throughout.

Overall, this activity suits various fitness levels. It balances effort with time to observe surroundings. Participants return with knowledge of Andean areas.

Patabamba Town, Pucamarca Village, Inca City of Huchuy Qosqo, Moray Archaeological Site, Maras Salt Mines, Ollantaytambo Town, Machu Picchu.

The route begins at Patabamba and ends at Lamay, including sights of water flows, local residents, high valleys, old Inca paths, and frozen peaks, setting it apart from standard paths offered elsewhere.
Return train leaves at 02:55 p.m. on day 3, arriving early in Cusco for better rest, unlike later schedules in similar tours that reduce recovery time.
No sharing of groups with other companies, ensuring a dedicated experience not found in combined operations from competitors.
Horses carry 7 kilograms of personal items, more generous than limits in other MACHU PICCHU PERU TRAVEL options or external providers.
Practical and on-time service from a fully local operator, with immediate payments to staff, promoting reliability over agencies with delayed compensations.
Guides receive ongoing training, providing in-depth explanations that exceed basic overviews in comparable hikes.

This service keeps your belongings safe while you travel light. Just pack essentials for the three days, like clothing and personal items, and retrieve the rest upon return.

Students aged 11 to 17 receive a $30 USD reduction, while children 2 to 11 get $40 USD off. To apply this, send copies of passports and valid student cards during booking. Email them to our team at MACHU PICCHU PERU TRAVEL to process the adjustment correctly.

May I Change Departure Date After the Permits Have Been Bought?

No, changes to departure dates are not allowed once Machu Picchu permits are purchased for the Huchuy Qosqo trek. The Peruvian government issues these permits as non-transferable and non-refundable. The only detail they permit updating is passport numbers if needed due to renewal.

Do I Need to Bring My Original Passport on the Huchuy Qosqo Trek to Machu Picchu?

Yes, carrying your original passport is essential for the Huchuy Qosqo trek to Machu Picchu. It must match the one used for booking permits. Officials check it at Machu Picchu entry points and when boarding trains. Without it, you risk denial of access to sites and transport.

If renewing your passport before the Huchuy Qosqo trek, send us a copy of your current one to book Machu Picchu permits initially.

Refunds for canceling the Huchuy Qosqo 3 day hike depend on circumstances. If borders close due to government actions, we return the full deposit.

Machu Picchu permits and train tickets from the Ministry of Culture and Peru Rail are non-refundable once issued.

What Is the Best Time to Do the Huchuy Qosqo Trek?

The dry season from May to September offers clearer paths and less rain for the Huchuy Qosqo trek, making hikes more comfortable. Temperatures range from 5 to 20 degrees Celsius. Wet season from October to April brings more greenery but slippery trails, so prepare for mud and showers.

How Fit Do I Need to Be for This Trek?

Moderate fitness suits the Huchuy Qosqo trek, with daily walks of 3 to 5 hours on uneven ground. No prior hiking experience is required, but regular exercise like walking helps. Altitude can affect breathing, so acclimate in Cusco for 2 days before starting.

Travel Guide

Weather Conditions

In the Andean region for this trek, weather changes quickly. Dry months from May to September have sunny days but cold nights, with temperatures dropping to 0 degrees Celsius. Rainy periods from November to March mean afternoon showers, so layers work best. I once got caught in a sudden downpour near Huchuy Qosqo and wished for better rain gear.

Local People and Culture

People in Patabamba and Lamay villages live simply, focusing on farming and weaving. They speak Quechua and Spanish, often welcoming visitors with smiles. Respect customs by asking before photos. A traveler I know shared tea with a family and learned about textile making firsthand.

Typical Food

Meals include quinoa soups, potato dishes, and fresh trout from rivers. Breakfast might be bread with jam and eggs. For cheap eats, try street vendors in Urubamba for empanadas at $1 each. Vegetarians find options like vegetable stews easily.

Meal Type	Common Dishes	Approximate Cost in Local Spots
Breakfast	Eggs, bread, fruit	$2-4
Lunch	Soup, rice, meat	$3-5
Dinner	Stew, potatoes	$4-6

Free Places to Visit

In Cusco before the trek, walk around Plaza de Armas without fees to see colonial buildings. Near Ollantaytambo, stroll through living Inca streets at no cost. These spots offer history without tickets.

Affordable Eating Options

In Aguas Calientes, small cafes serve set menus for $5, like chicken with rice. Avoid tourist traps near the train station. In Urubamba, markets sell fresh fruits cheaply. One time, I ate at a local spot and saved half compared to hotels.

Dressing Throughout the Year

Wear breathable layers year-round: base thermal shirts, fleece mid-layers, and waterproof jackets. Sturdy boots for trails, hats for sun. In winter (June-August), add gloves; summer (December-February) needs lighter pants but still rain protection.

Physical Effort and Health Needs

The trek involves 3-5 hours walking daily with ups and downs, rating moderate. Knees may feel strain on descents. No major health issues required, but check with a doctor for heart conditions. Acclimate to altitude; stats show 30% of visitors experience mild symptoms, eased by rest.
