The Lares Trek to Machu Picchu is a remarkable alternative to the Inca Trail hike. This route takes you on a less trodden path, with stops at traditional Andean settlements, all while encircled by extraordinary mountain peaks and lakes. Our journey commences from the sacred valley of the Incas, moving towards the Lares Hot springs. This exceptional trek provides an intimate glimpse into the historic lifestyle of the Cusco locals.

The trip begins in Pumahuanca Sacred Valley, meanders through the hot springs in the Lares Valley, and culminates in Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas.

On the final day in the evening, you will travel back from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo by train, followed by a one-hour bus ride to the city of Cusco.
