Commonly referred to as “the alternative Inca Trail” because it was still traversed by the Inca people.
Far less commercial than the Inca Trail and you may not see another tourist, outside of your group, for the whole time you’re on the trek!
Amazing variety of quality food.
Travel with Llamas!
They carry up to 7kgs for each person
The scenery is just as spectacular as on the Inca Trail.

The trek finishes in Ollantaytambo, from where you take the train to Machu Picchu town.
Machu Picchu town. Also known as Aguas Calientes.
Lares Valley trekkers have a better chance of arriving at Machu Picchu ruins before the Inca Trail trekkers on the day of their visit.
