DESCRIPTION:
This is a fantastic trek that takes you well off the tourist trails as you climb out of the Sacred Valley of the Incas and continue over into the next valley (Lares). In crossing these mountains you have the chance to enjoy spectacular Andean scenery, including lakes and wildlife, and also visit traditional Andean villages. Many of these people still dress in typical clothing and they can be seen far off in the distance in their red and black clothing while tending their sheep or llamas.
With this itinerary you have the option of either returning to Cusco at the end of day four or continuing to Machu Picchu to visit this famous Inca city.
