Searching for an off-the-beaten-path trek to Machu Picchu? The 4 Day Lares Trek to Machu Picchu Group Tour offers a scenic and cultural alternative to the Inca Trail, tailor-made for young adults and experienced hikers. Starting in Cusco, this trip winds through the Andean highlands, passing villages where traditional adobe houses dot the landscape and locals maintain centuries-old customs.
Cross two dramatic high passes—both soaring over 4,000 meters—and marvel at natural wonders like the sparkling Laguna Aruraycocha. The journey culminates with a guided exploration of the iconic Machu Picchu citadel, where ancient Inca engineering and breathtaking vistas await.
The highlight of this tour package is its perfect fusion of cultural immersion and natural grandeur, granting trekkers intimate access to living Andean traditions while delivering the bucket-list experience of Machu Picchu.
