Tour Details

Huchuy Qosqo located at more than 3550 meters above sea level. It was ordered to be built by the Inca Wiracocha as a center to relax and get away from the empire during his old age.

Huchuy Qosqo means “Small town”, but other names are also attributed to it that mean “from where the rays are observed”. This unique name is due to the fact that it is located 800 meters above the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Due to its high altitude this place offers a fascinating light and sound show at night. Lightning and thunder descend from the sky and crash on its ground. In addition you can appreciate beautiful views of the valley, the beauty of the snowy Pitusiray and the village of Calca.
