LARES LLAMA TREK & MACHU PICCHU
5 DAYS
Overview
Highlights
- This five-day journey combines beautiful sceneries in the Andes and the colorful lifestyle of local people in the highlands. It starts in the ancient Inca capital, of Cusco and turns off towards Lares (3,100mt/10,170ft) traveling through small communities, seeing many fields of Andean products. On this fantastic trip we use llamas as pack animals, like back in Inca’s time (some horses, too). Crossing the pass (4,500mt/14,760ft) we will continue hiking the amazing Andes catching views of some birds like the Condor or the Andean Cara Cara. Thereafter, we descend by other Andean communities until reaching the town of Ollantaytambo where we will see the archaeological site and explore the typical houses and walk through the original Inca streets. In the evening we take the train to Aguas Calientes Town to spend the night. Early in the morning we take the bus up to the “Lost city of Machupicchu” to enjoy a guided walking tour of “One of the seven wonders of the world”.

Pricing
Our prices are per person in double occupancy (matrimonial or twin) in US dollars, thus if you want a single room you will need to add a supplement cost.
Occasionally, after coordinating your trip with our travel consultant, there could be slight changes in your itinerary or hotels because you want to spend more time in places that interest you, avoid long distances, have more free time or avoid tourist concentrations. These changes will increase or reduce the final price. It is important to mention that most hotels increase their rates during special holidays but our Travel Consultant will inform you and make other suggestions.
