Tour Description

Lares Trek to Machu Picchu– An Authentic Andean Adventure

The Lares Trek to Machu Picchu  offers a unique and unforgettable alternative to the crowded traditional trails. Ideal for travelers seeking authenticity, this trek takes you deep into the heart of the Andes, where breathtaking landscapes, snow-capped peaks, and colorful glacial lakes await.

Unlike other trekking routes, the Lares Trek guides you along peaceful, lesser-known paths, through traditional Quechua-speaking communities that have preserved their Inca heritage for centuries. Along the way, you’ll witness women weaving with ancestral techniques, llama and alpaca herders in vibrant clothing, and panoramic views that few tourists ever see.

This 3-day Lares Trek is perfect for those with limited time in Cusco who still want to experience a high-altitude adventure. You’ll pass through high mountain passes, Andean villages, and natural hot springs, before reaching the majestic citadel of Machu Picchu.

Whether it’s the serenity of the trail, the warmth of the locals, or the beauty of the Andes, this journey offers a rare connection with nature and culture. Don’t miss the chance to explore Peru off the beaten path — the Lares Trek to Machu Picchu  is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that blends scenic hiking, authentic encounters, and the wonder of one of the world’s most iconic archaeological sites.

Highlights:

  • Explore a stunning inter-Andean valley filled with Queuña forests – prehistoric native trees unique to the Andes
  • Sleep in remote campsites above the treeline, surrounded by herds of alpacas and llamas
  • Hike toward the towering Sahuasiray glacier peak, then descend to the turquoise Canchispaccha Lagoon
  • Discover the hidden beauty of the Seven Waterfalls of Quiswarani (Qanchis Paccha)
  • Relax in the natural hot springs of Lares before traveling to Ollantaytambo and taking the train to Aguas Calientes
  • Enjoy a guided visit to Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World

This 3-day trek is ideal for travelers seeking cultural encounters, pristine nature, and stunning mountain scenery – all in a short yet impactful journey.
