LARES TREK
| Price per person for Lares Trek based on 2 travelers in private service only. Domestic flights not included. |
Lares is located on the opposite side of the Sacred Valley where a beautiful valley opens up at a higher level and offers an ideal opportunity for adventure hikes. The Lares Trek encompasses all the wonderful things we love about hiking: a lesser-known path that allows the few hikers to enjoy the scenery and the flora and fauna closely, marvelous mountain views, intense emerald-colored glacier lakes, passing through renewing Queuña Tree forests, and observing closer Andean villagers’ lives. Since there are Andean communities along the way, you may run into Andean kids going or returning from school or their parents going or coming to/from work.
The Lares Trek ends in the town of Lares where you can dip into its natural hot springs and relax.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Moderate to challenging. We strongly recommend acclimatizing to the altitude by staying in Cusco at least two-three days prior to the Lares Trek.
Lares Trek to Machu Picchu: After the trek, you can be transferred to the Andean town of Ollantaytambo to take the train to Aguas Calientes and visit Machu Picchu the following day.
