Highlights

Travel confidently with Alpaca Expeditions, Peru's #1 Tour Operator!. The Lares Trek to Machu Picchu is a true immersion into local villages outside of Cusco. This trek's slower pace & shorter daily mileage means plenty of time to explore the culture and traditions in the Lares Valley. From the alpine villages you’ll descend into the Sacred Valley, visit the famous salt mines, explore Ollantaytambo, a 3,5000 year old living Inca village, then train to Machupicchu town. The next day, tour to Machu Picchu archeological site with your expert, local indigenous guide, this will be richer because of all the information you get in the Sacred Valley tour.

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.
