Lares is a small town north of Cusco. We begin in the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Huarán and ascend through a narrow valley passing by thatched stone houses and herds of llamas and alpacas. The trek is moderate, we can compare it with the Inca Trail, in the fact that we have two high passes of 4000m/13123ft to conquer. We recommend 2 or more days acclimatization in Cusco before the trek.
This trip involves an average of 6 hrs hiking per day over rocky and steep terrain. There are mules to carry your pack and always an emergency mule for those who may need it.
Basic Tent and Camping Equipment included. Meals included
Previous acclimation to the altitude in Cusco is highly recommended. Your guide always carries an oxygen bottle.
This is a pooled trek with a group no larger than 14 people.
Fewer people visit.
