Lares valley Trek 4 Days

• Description

 

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 Huarn 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.
