Highlights

The Lares Trek is not just a hike, it is a cultural immersion into the heart of the Andes. Unlike other routes, this trek takes you through remote villages, where you will have the rare opportunity to interact with local Quechua communities that have preserved their ancestral traditions for centuries. Here, people still practice traditional weaving techniques and cultivate native Andean crops, offering an authentic glimpse into their way of life. As you trek through breathtaking landscapes of snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lagoons, and rolling valleys, you will also discover a hidden Inca archaeological site along the way. This unique combination of living culture, untouched nature, and ancient history makes the Lares Trek an experience like no other, culminating in the long-awaited arrival at Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas. Step off the beaten path and into the true spirit of the Andes. Book now for an unforgettable journey!

About Cusco

Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.

The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.

Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
