Huchuy Qosqo- "Little Cusco"
In December I went on this beautiful and challenging day hike with two friends. We started in a small town Tauca at 3800 meters.

Climbed a few hours passing the Cusco water source and impressive aqueducts and terracing to a 4400 meter unnamed pass.
After lunch hiding out from a hail storm we descended through a herd of sheep, to an enormous Inca archaeological site preciously placed on a ridge between the pass (600 meters above) and the Sacred Valley (600 meters below).
