Andean Wellness Trek to Machu Picchu

The Lares Trek to Machu Picchu is a remarkable alternative to the crowded Inca Trail, offering a more intimate and culturally rich experience. This 4-day journey begins in the historic city of Cusco and winds through the stunning Sacred Valley, remote Andean villages, and high mountain passes, culminating in the unforgettable arrival at Machu Picchu. The trek is designed for those who seek not just a physical challenge but a deep connection to the land, its people, and their traditions.

Each day of the trek presents new wonders: from the therapeutic Lares Hot Springs and the serene Blue Lagoon to the awe-inspiring Condor Pass at 4,750 meters and the ancient salt terraces of Maras. You'll have the opportunity to interact with local Quechua communities, visit a school, and learn about traditional weaving and farming practices. Our knowledgeable guides, who are native to the region, bring the history and culture of the Andes to life with their stories and insights.

Sustainability is at the core of TreXperience's philosophy.
