The Cusco region is home to many, many Inca sites, most of which get few, if any, visitors. Huchuy Qosqo, means ‘Little Cusco’ in Quechua and is an impressive complex, with some fine stone structures, beautiful terracing and some of the most amazing views of anywhere in the area. Said to be a royal estate founded by the Inca Viracocha in the early 15th century, the site sits at over 3,650 metres, with the town of Lamay in the Sacred Valley almost 800 metres directly below, and facing the snow-capped peaks of the mountains on the other side of the valley. Despite being such an important and beautiful site, it receives hardly any visitors, mainly by dint of being only accessible by a fairly tough hike.
