Trek
to Lares 4D/3n
Description
Lares is the name of a small town on the
highlands north of Cusco. We also call the nice
trek there the Lares trek. We begin in the
Sacred Valley of the Incas in Huarn and ascend
down a narrow valley, where you will have the
opportunity to see thatched stone houses
surrounded by herds of llamas and alpacas.
Inside the houses you will see guinea pigs
running loose.
The trek is moderate, we can compare it with the
Inca Trail, in the fact that we have two high
passes of 4.000 masl or 13,200 ft to conquer. We
recommend that our guests plan to spend 2 or 3
days in Cusco (3,300 masl or 10,890 ft) before
the tour.

there, we will start our trek, heading up a
