Lares Trek

Where living Andean culture meets the majestic path to Machu Picchu.

Get ready for an unforgettable journey along the Lares Trek – an adventurous alternative to the popular Inca Trail route. What makes this trip unique is not only its challenging paths but also a fascinating historical journey through centuries gone by. Walking through lush green valleys and mist-covered mountains, visiting secluded villages of native Quechua inhabitants who keep their centuries-old weaving culture and wear traditional bright-colored ponchos.

This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself into the true Andean atmosphere while feeling breathless from amazing panoramas and physical exertion. Climbing up to passes more than 4,400 meters high, exploring glaciers and lakes surrounded by llamas – and ending up relaxing in the natural volcanic thermal baths, which will be your last step to see the stone mystery of Machu Picchu!
