The Huchuyqosco Bike Trip
This is a very special one day mountain biking trip. It begins with a 15 kilometer drive from Cusco to the town of Ccorao and from there to the vicinity of the highland region of Coriqocha. From this point a very well preserved and well built Inca Road sets off in the direction of Huchy Qosqo. Along the way, numerous examples of Inka walls and diverse examples of masonry are seen. After 3 hours we arrive at the archaeological site of Huchuyqosqo. These are very impressive ruins, due both to the broad ranging view of the Sacred Valley that they command, as well as for the strikingly fine workmanship of the masonry in their buildings. Yet another attractive feature is that they are seldom visited and not very well known to most visitors in the area. After visiting this unique site, we all bike down to the town of Calca.
Option: We can all return to Cusco on the same day, or spend the night in a hotel in the Sacred Valley and go on to enjoy another mountain biking adventure the following day
