Summary:
We embarked on the excursion to Huchuycosco and although the effort was considerable, it was completely worth it! The ruin itself has incredible potential, and reaching the top, at 4,400 meters, made us feel like we were in heaven. The view of Cusco from there is simply breathtaking. A magical and recommended experience for those seeking a unique adventure.
