The Lares Trek is an excellent alternative to the Inca Trail. Taking you off the beaten track with visits to authentic Andean communities whilst being surrounded by stunning mountains, lakes and valleys this fabulous trek offers a real insight in to the lives of the people of Cusco as it once was.
The route we offer starts in the village of Pumahuanca in the Sacred Valley and finishes in the hot springs of Lares with a visit to the village of Cuncani along the way. On Day 3 of the trek you take a bus from Lares to Ollantaytambo and then carry on by train to Machu Picchu.
VERY IMPORTANT:
This tour starts when we pick you up from your hotel, and it will finish when we are going to leave you at your hotel.
WE OFFER DAILY DEPARTURES!

They were very understanding of the current political situation in Peru. I was extremely impressed with their customer service and attentiveness. I would highly recommend booking with this company rather than the larger tour operators.

At first...I thought this was a large international tour package. It is actually a very small local guide. That has made all the difference.
I can not tell you how my expectations were completely overshadowed by how well the leader (Johnny) set up and panned every detail.
The trip turned out to much more a physical challenge for me than I expected. I have been a smoker for 35 years (I have quit). The guide stuck with me and encouraged me the entire time. He was great! I would have never gotten that type of support from a large national tour.
The food was the best you will get on any tour of this area. My guide insisted on hand picking the chef that came along. Simply fantastic!
For me this was a life moving experience, I couldn't be more happy to have done it with the 3 people directly involved on the trek.
Before you book with ANY agency (Life Adventures, G Adventures, etc.)....check out the itinerary for this trek....you will see how much specific thought goes into every detail with these guys. This is not just a job for Johnny (the leader/guide), this is his life and he takes so much pride in every aspect.
I would rate this company a 6 if I could.
