Lares to Machu Picchu Trek Description |
This trek is a great alternative for people interested in authentic views of life in the country. On our way to Lares we will pass through the Peruvian highlands where people still live as the Incas used to live. They still live in thatched stone houses shepherding their llamas and alpacas below the snowcapped mountains. Their economy is still based on the system of trade. This trek offers you variable mountain scenery, glacier lakes and fauna and flora. We offer enjoyable camping at these great places with fascinating views. To complement a lifetime trek we will explore the Inca treasure of Machupicchu.
