This remote and rarely visited region offers the trekker an insider´s view 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 Lares Trek to Machu Picchu 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 descendants. The Lares Trek connects the communities of Cancha Cancha, Quisuarani, Cuncani and Lares with life in the Sacred Valley. On the third day, we’ll take the afternoon train to Aguas Calientes, having a full day to explore the Machu Picchu Sanctuary and climb Huayna Picchu mountain the last day.

Unique and unforgettable experience, we spent two days camping and one night in a hotel, I must say that you only have an experience like this once, everything organized to perfection, direct contact with nature, snow-capped mountains, turquoise lakes, meetings with different animal species etc beautiful beautiful beautiful. The food was very good and plentiful from breakfast to dinner. The guys took care of us for the entire duration of the trek, thank you. Thanks also go to the guide Nilton with his knowledge about the Inca people and nature. I learned many very interesting things, thank you very much.

Trip of a lifetime! Wonderful way to experience Peru. Our trek crew was kind and hardworking and incredibly helpful. We were well-cared for and able to see the beauty of the sacred valley in a unique way.

My two sisters and I trekked the four day and three night Lares trek with Action Peru Treks and we were so happy with everything from the time we emailed them until our last day in Cusco. These guys take their job seriously and the main reason we’ve chosen them is because they are an indigenous tour company in Peru. Make you a favor and book your Peru trek with Action Peru. You won’t regret!

Just returned home after an epic adventure to Machu Picchu. I hiked the Lares trek and this was an amazing trekking experience with Action Peru Treks. We loved every minute of our adventure with our awesome guide, chef and horseman. We did not see any other groups doing this trek which was amazing. I highly recommend Action Peru to anyone who is planning a trek to Machu Picchu.

The four day and three night Lares trek was an amazing experience. My friends and I were the only ones on the trekking group. We spent 3 days on a trek that ended at Machu Picchu. During our trek we could see many communities of the Peruvian Andes, Alpacas and llamas. This is a challenging trek, especially because of the altitude. Our guide Christian from Action Peru Treks was excellent and very accommodating. We had a chef who provided us nutritious meals for the whole trek and we also had Jorge as our horseman. This was a great alternative to the crowded Inca Trail.

My two friends and I hiked the 4 day Lares trek to Machu Picchu a week ago with Action Peru Treks and we had a great time during our 4 day trek. We had amazing meals every day cooked by our chef in the middle of no where. We had Christian as our guide and he was very knowledgeable and caring the whole time. Thank you so much everyone for such a great trek to Machu Picchu.

Action Peru Treks. We wanted an extended hike, so, they put two hikes together for us, the Lares Trek for 4 days and 3 nights and the MachuPicchu for 1 more day and night. We were out for 5 days and 4 nights. Then they added a 3 day and 2 nights to the Floating Islands. THANK YOU FOR accommodating our requests! We were blown away. The scenery on the hikes were beyond our expectations. Who knew lamas would be everywhere.
Our guide Ronald, and Chef Pancho, were both incredibly talented people. They made an incredible team and gave us an experience of a lifetime. I can't thank you both enough. Ronald has 18 years experience on these hikes, we felt well looked after and safe. Pancho's food was unbelievable. We have no clue how he was able to create such feasts in the middle of nowhere. We thank you both.
We were three women in our group, and felt honoured to have such an adventure. THANK YOU! I highly recommend to see Peru with Action Peru Treks. THANK YOU!

We were three women in our 50s and did a 3-day Lares trek followed by a day of trekking toward Macchu Pichu and a morning at the site itself. We had a guide, chef, assistant chef, and porter/horseman with us for the Lares trek, along with 6 horses. I couldn't believe how well taken care of and safe we felt. They went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful, successful experience. Ronald in particular is a fabulous guide with tons of knowledge and 20 years in the business. The food was amazing - 5 plates of delicious food for dinner! How this was managed on a remote hike remains a mystery... We went in October and it's very cold at night. They provided hot water bottles and an extra blanket which was much appreciated. I highly recommend Action Peru Treks.

My daughter and I did lares trek in Peru with Action Peru Treks in October 2019. I chose the company is by the good reviews from TripAdvisor and my communications through email with the company owner Roxner. Roxner is very patient and easy to communicate. He answered all my questions and concerns during the planning.
The view of Peru is marvelous and the experience we had was memorable. When we started lares trek. We were surprised to have such a big crew accompanied with us. Our trekking crew included 1 guide, 1 cowboy who taken care the horses, 2 chefs prepare our meals and 4 horses who carried our stuffs. All of them are so decent nice people especially the chefs and cowboy. They bring warm water to our tent for us to wash. I didn’t feel good to eat. The chef bring warm soup to my tent. All the meals they cooked were delicious. The guide was pretty good overall....
The only thing need to advise is hiking to the top of the mountain is very cold. I think their sleeping bag is not good enough to keep us warm. It was very cold at night. I didn’t sleep well.
Overall we enjoyed our time in Peru

We did the Lares Trek a few weeks ago. The team (led by Lizandro) took care of us very well. We all got high-altitude sickness and the team was very accommodating. I like this company as they’re not as commercial as other ones, and more flexible. Lares Trek is breath-taking and way less crowded than the Inca trail (although one day I’ll want to do Inca trial too!). We’d highly recommend it!
