4-day Lares Trek To Machu Picchu
The Lares Trek to Machu Picchu is a great alternative to reach Machu Picchu instead of the classic Inca trail.
It is ideal for those who want to get off the beaten path and get an insight into authentic communities while being surrounded by stunning mountains, lakes and valleys landscapes.
The trekking starts at a small village located in the Sacred Valley and climbs over 2 passes at 4,000 meters, passing through traditional, colorful villages, relaxing at the hot springs in Lares and finishing with a visit to Machu Picchu on the final day.
If you are looking for a different challenge, we highly recommend to hike along the Lares Valley.
