Private Trekking along Lares Trail
Hike the ancient Lares Trail through the Peruvian Andes.
Urubamba, often known as the Sacred Valley, is the beating heart of Peru culture. Immerse yourself in the authentic Andean way of life while discovering the Inca's priceless artifacts. North of this, in the Lares region, is the valley's more isolated and less-visited northern half. Even if this popular region is just as beautiful, you can have a more intimate, active, and peaceful time there—and you might even be the only one there.
All guests should be reasonably athletic and have prior trekking experience, as the route includes difficult descents on old Inca stairs and climbing over multiple high passes reaching 4,200m.
If you want to experience this one-of-a-kind area while also engaging in some active adventure, the Lares is the way to go. The Inca Trail isn't the only choice; this one is also great for families with older kids or teens.
