Lares Trek to Machu Picchu 4D/3N Including Hot Springs
This is a unique Lares trek as it takes you off the beaten path and through a trail not used by any others. You will pass isolated communities like Cancha Cancha, so high in the mountains that there is no road to the village. You will see stunning lakes and scenery and then enjoy a private, guided tour in Machu Picchu. This is a small-group tour including hearty and gourmet meals, the best camping equipment and the hot springs in Lares. You will be able to interact with the locals along the trail and be amazed when you visit the magical ruins of Machu Picchu.
