Trekking Tourism
Lares Trek 4d/3n
The route is very beautiful. Passing through the rich pastoral regions of the cordillera Urubamba we traverse High Mountain Peaks and sub-tropical valleys, stopping along the way to enjoy scenic lagoons, natural hot springs, and Inca remains. The remoteness of the area has allowed its people to preserve traditions of llama and alpaca herding, potatoes cultivation, and colorful weaving dating back to the Incas. This fascinating trip offers a first hand look at the life of the Andean farmer and a journey into a region of outstanding beauty.
