Trek to Lares 4D/3N
lares valley
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 Huarán 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.

Early in the morning we pick our passengers up from their hotels and travel in our private bus to Huarán (2,760 masl or 9108 ft), a small village located in the Urubamba Valley(The Sacred Valley of the Incas), east of Pisac.

Once there, we will start our trek, heading up a narrow valley, looking at the scenery and enjoying the nature in this area. After 5 hours of walking, we will arrive at Cancha Cancha (3,700 masl or 12,210 ft.), our campsite for the night.
