Itinerary

Seeking a less-traveled path to Machu Picchu? The Lares Trek is a compelling alternative to the busy Inca Trail, offering a genuine glimpse into Andean life and breathtaking natural scenery. Begin in the Sacred Valley at Pumahuanca, trek through mountains, lakes, and valleys, and visit the traditional village of Cuncani before reaching the soothing hot springs of Lares.

On the third day, transfer by bus and train to Ollantaytambo, continuing by rail to the majestic Machu Picchu. This trek’s highlight is its focus on authentic cultural encounters with local communities, making it a family-friendly adventure packed with rugged beauty and rich traditions.
