Lares is a valley near the city of
Cusco, is home to people who weave and cultivate the land (Weavers and farmers), they do things traditionally and also speak
Quechua and
Spanish, their tissues do manually, both knitting and cultivate use ansestratales tools used by the Incas.
The
Lares trek is one of the main alternatives to the
Inca Trail and
Salkantay Trek, is a shorter leisurely walk, is close to the city of
Cusco, besides that there is no special permits for the tour, also is quieter than the
Inca Trail and we have for you the classic 4 day hike that we assure you that you will love it very much.
Lares is located in
Cusco, this remote and rarely visited region offers the trekker an insight into traditional Andean life; a timeless world where farmers plant their crops on the lands their ancestors tended and watch over herds of llama and alpaca beneath the sacred snow-covered peaks they worshipped as gods. The trail is one of the Inca trails from the time of the Inca Empire.
Today, the trail is still in use by farmers, who are Inca descendents. The trail connects the communities of
Cuncani,
Huacahuasi,
Quisuarani,
Patacancha and
Lares with life in the Sacred Valley. On the third day, we'll take the afternoon train to
Machu Picchu Pueblo (
Aguas Calientes), having a full day to explore the
Machu Picchu Sanctuary the next day.
