Yes. You’ll need to make sure you take enough water for the first morning of your trek, but after this, we’ll provide you with boiled water to fill your bottle or pouch with at every meal and campsite. The water is clean and perfectly safe for you to drink, so you don’t need to worry in that respect.
Make sure you take a reusable bottle or Camelbak to use the entire trek. We prefer not to use plastic bottles to help protect the environment and the routes.

Although everything is paid for in advance and included in the package, you definitely need to take some extra cash with you for the trek. Around 300 Peruvian soles are enough. Don’t take dollars, as these aren’t liable to tender in rural parts of the country.

Due to the somewhat challenging hike and weather conditions, we do not recommend traveling with small children. You will likely have to carry them for much of the way, making it even more difficult for you.
We recommend that the earliest age that children should join this walk is 10 years old. As long as your child is active and you walk a lot on the way home, you should be fine.

One of the aspects that probably surprises you the most is the food on the trek. Most guests mention how much they enjoyed the variety of dishes prepared by our professional chefs en route. You will be surprised by the food you eat in the middle of the mountains.

We know that nutrition on the routes is essential, since you need a lot of energy to get through each day. For this reason, we work long and hard, together with our chefs and the best nutritionists to put together the most complete menu possible for the Huchuy Qosqo hike.

Every time you sit down to eat, you’ll be greeted with a variety of options for you to choose from, including all the essential food groups for a well-balanced meal every time.

If you have allergies or prefer not to eat certain foods, you should not worry. All you need to do is let us know before the trek and we will make sure you eat as well as everyone else in your group and enjoy as much fresh and local ingredients as possible.

It gets even better: we’ll also give you a cloth bag for which we provide snacks every morning to keep you going. We also set up a special ‘tea time’ at each camp with tasty light bites and hot drinks to keep you going until dinner.

You can see that you certainly won’t go hungry on the Huchuy Qosqo hike and you will be able to try many of our traditional Peruvian dishes.

The maximum group size for all treks is 12 people. In general, our groups are from 4 to 6 people. PERU TREK specializes in SMALL and PRIVATE groups and provides personalized services. Huchuy Qosqo hike
