Huchuy Qosqo Tour

Huchuy Qosqo (Quechua: "Little Cuzco" also called Yuchuy Cuzco) is an archaeological site 50 km north of Cusco, in Peru. It is located at an altitude of 3,600 meters, above the city of Lamay, in the district of Calca, province of Calca, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

But unlike the aforementioned places Huchuy Qosqo has a peculiar architecture: the buildings have been built on polished stone bases of fine finish, with clay plaster (they are the best preserved parts) and the highest peaks are made of adobe.
