The Lares treks offer a unique and culturally rich treks to Machu Picchu. Both blend breathtaking Andean landscapes with authentic encounters with local Quechua communities. The 5-day trek combines the scenic high-altitude Lares Valley, remote mountain villages, hot springs and the short 2-day Inca Trail, stepping directly on the ancient stone paths of the Inca, seeing the ruins of Winay Wayna, the Sun Gate and lastly the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.
The 4-day Lares Trek gives an equally immersive experience seeing stunning vistas, cultural connections and ending with a train journey through the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes and an excursion to Machu Picchu. Both treks are an excellent alternative to the crowded Inca Trail, the Lares treks are ideal for travelers seeking both adventure and culture ending at Machu Picchu.
