The Lares Treks to Machu Picchu offer an immersive journey through the heart of the Peruvian Andes, combining breathtaking scenery with rich cultural encounters. This trek, typically spanning three to four days, starts from the town of Lares and winds through picturesque valleys, snow-capped mountains, and traditional Andean villages. Trekkers have the unique opportunity to interact with local communities, witnessing their daily lives and learning about their customs and traditions. The route is known for its stunning landscapes, including pristine lakes and lush meadows, providing a serene and less crowded alternative to the more popular Inca Trail.
After days of hiking through these spectacular highlands, the journey culminates with a visit to the majestic Machu Picchu. Trekkers usually take a train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes, followed by an early morning ascent to the iconic citadel. This combination of trekking and train travel ensures a well-rounded and fulfilling experience. The Lares Trek is ideal for those seeking a blend of adventure and cultural immersion, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of Andean villagers and the natural beauty of the region, all while leading to the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu. This trek provides a profound connection to both the land and its people, making it an unforgettable adventure for any traveler.
If trekking the Inca Trail is on your bucket list, you have a few options, ranging from just 1 days to 7 days long, which includes a part of the incredible Salkantay Trail as well. Bear in mind that the 4 day trail is the classic route and the one that most people want to take part in, so you need to book months in advance.

In their communities, we actively engage in numerous social projects, particularly in education and health.
