INCA TRAIL - Lares 2 days + 2 days
The Lares Trek is an invitation to experience the living culture of the Incas. The people living along its length have kept their ancestral traditions alive through their textiles, clothing, religion, and language.
After Lares, we’ll enter Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate at the end of the Two-Day Inca Trail, a hiking route with breathtaking views and important archaeological sites. Taken together, these two hikes are a simply magical experience, a 34-kilometer journey full of living history and ancient ruins that are the legacy of the Inca Empire.
