Discover the Lares Trek to Machu Picchu: Culture, Nature, and Authenticity in One Journey

Lares Trek to Machu Picchu (4 Days): The Authentic Cultural Experience

If you’re looking for a route to Machu Picchu that goes beyond the typical tourist experience, the 4-day Lares Trek to Machu Picchu is your perfect option. This adventure takes you deep into the heart of the Andes Mountains, offering a unique opportunity to connect deeply with the cultural and natural richness of Peru.

The Real Advantage of the Lares Trek

Unlike the classic (and often crowded) Inca Trail, the Lares Walk (Lares Trek) offers a more intimate and authentic alternative. The advantages are clear:
  • Fewer crowds on the trails.
  • Greater interaction with local communities.
  • Scenic beauty that feels truly untouched by modern life.

A Journey into the Heart of the Andes and Its People

During the 4-day Lares Trek to Machu Picchu, you won’t just be a spectator. You will walk through breathtaking valleys, cross high mountain passes, and pass by crystal-clear lagoons surrounded by majestic snow-capped peaks. The most unique aspect of this route is the opportunity to visit remote Andean villages. These communities still preserve their traditional way of life:
  • They speak Quechua, the ancestral language.
  • They practice age-old customs like artisanal weaving.
  • They rely on herding and farming, using ancestral techniques.
While the Lares Trek is known for its cultural immersion, hikers seeking more dramatic alpine scenery might want to compare it to the Salkantay trek, which takes you through the stunning Vilcabamba mountain range.

Upon arrival at Huaran (9,514 ft / 2,900 m), the official trailhead, you will first enjoy a delicious and energetic breakfast prepared by the Ali Peru Treks chef.

Cloud Forest Transition and Community Immersion After breakfast, we begin a three-hour gentle ascent, following the course of the Cancha Cancha River through ancient cloud forests—a unique ecosystem perfect for bird watching.

We will stop for lunch near the high-Andean Cancha Cancha community. This is our opportunity for cultural exchange: we will visit the local school and houses, learning about the local people’s farming techniques and ancient traditions.

Final Climb and Starry Camp We then continue with a final gradual two-hour ascent, passing by the beautiful landscapes, until we reach our campsite located in the heart of the Cancha Cancha community (12,631 ft / 3,850 m).

Our chef will greet you with a warm welcome tea while you settle into your comfortable tents. Following dinner, if the sky is clear, your guide will point out the Andean constellations, and you will sleep under a truly stunning Andean sky.

You will take the Consettur bus for a scenic 25-minute ascent up the mountain, which brings you directly to the entrance of the legend.

Once inside the Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu (7,972 ft / 2,430 m), the magic begins. Your expert Ali Peru Treks guide will lead you on a comprehensive 3-hour tour. We have secured Circuit 2 for you, widely considered the most complete and classic route.

First, your guide will take you to the best viewpoints so you can capture the iconic, postcard-perfect photo of Machu Picchu. Afterward, you will discover the secrets, history, and astonishing architecture of the Inca Empire, exploring the main temples, sacred plazas, and urban sectors that this circuit allows.

After the tour, you will have free time to explore the wonder at your own pace.

Optional: Huayna Picchu Mountain If you reserved the add-on ticket, this is your moment for the legendary climb up Huayna Picchu Mountain (8,835 ft / 2,693 m). It is a challenging hike that offers unparalleled aerial views of the citadel. (Remember, this ticket must be booked months in advance).

We recommend taking your bus back down to Aguas Calientes at least 2 hours before your train departure.

Your return train journey to Ollantaytambo (approx. 2 hours) will take you back through the Sacred Valley. At the Ollantaytambo station, our Ali Peru Treks staff will be waiting for you (easily identified with our logo).

The balance can be paid up to 2 days before the departure date. If you plan to pay in cash, you can do so during the security briefing 1 day before departure.

The best time to do the Lares Trek is during the dry season, which runs from April to Octuber. During these months, rainfall is minimal and the weather is more predictable, making the treks more comfortable and safe. The rainy season (November to March) can make the terrain slippery and difficult to walk on.

The highest point is typically the Ipsaycocha Pass (or Sicllaccasa Pass depending on the specific route variation), reaching approximately 4,700 meters (15,516 feet).

Yes, this is the highlight of the Lares route. You will pass through traditional weaving villages like Quiswarani and Cuncani. Our guides facilitate respectful interactions, allowing you to learn about their lifestyle and textile traditions.

No, the LARES TREK can only be hiked with an authorized agency and an official guide. The Peruvian government regulates access to the trail, and all treks must be accompanied by certified guides.

During the tour you can only take the necessary luggage. The rest of your luggage must remain in Cusco. You can store it at:

The hotel: If you return to the same hotel after the trek, we recommend that you store your luggage at the hotel. Most hotels in Cusco offer this service free of charge.
At aliperutreks office: You can leave your luggage in our office, we have a secure storage room to keep all your luggage. We will deliver it to you after the trek.

Yes, you can stay in Urubamba or Ollantaytambo. Pick up will be 1 hour after pick up from Cusco.

As an ethical operator, Ali Perú Treks strongly advises against giving candy or money directly to children, as it encourages begging and is bad for dental health. If you wish to donate (pencils, notebooks, fruits), please give them to the school teacher or parents to distribute.

We recommend arriving in Cuzco at least 2 or 3 days before the trek. If arriving from higher altitudes, only one day is required for acclimatization.

TOn the Lares Trek, we use horses and mules to carry camping gear, food, and your personal duffel bag. This is different from the Inca Trail, which relies solely on human porters.

Yes, for the hiking portion (Days 1-3), a saddle horse will accompany the group to assist anyone who is feeling unwell or exhausted.

Yes! We typically visit the Lares Hot Springs either at the very beginning

It gets very cold. Nighttime temperatures can drop below freezing (-5°C / 23°F), especially at the high-altitude campsites near the lakes. A 4-season sleeping bag is essential.

Generally, no. There are basic facilities at the Lares Hot Springs, but for the campsites, we provide a bowl of warm water every morning and evening for a «cat bath.»

Ali Perú Treks provides a private, clean, portable chemical toilet and a toilet tent for the exclusive use of our group at the campsites.

After finishing the hike on Day 3 (usually in Ollantaytambo), we take a scenic train ride to Aguas Calientes, where we spend the night in a hotel before visiting Machu Picchu on Day 4.

You will be provided with a duffel bag for your personal items (clothing, sleeping bag, toiletries). The weight limit is strictly 7 kg (15.4 lbs) per person so that our horses are not overloaded.

Highly recommended. While there are fewer stairs than the Inca Trail, the terrain can be uneven, and poles reduce the impact on your knees during the long descents.

Our expert mountain chefs can cater to almost any diet, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and nut allergies. Please inform us at the time of booking.

Yes, you can hike Huayna Picchu on Day 4 after your tour of the citadel. However, permits are extremely limited and must be purchased separately at least 3-4 months in advance.

Besides fair wages for our team, the Lares Trek directly supports remote highland communities. We camp in designated areas that pay fees to local families, ensuring tourism revenue reaches the people who live there.

We strongly recommend arriving in Cusco at least 2 to 3 days before your trek begins. The Lares Trek reaches high altitudes (up to 4,550m / 14,928ft), and your body needs time to adjust to the lower oxygen levels. Acclimatizing properly is the key to enjoying the spectacular views rather than struggling with headache or fatigue. During these days, drink plenty of water, try the local coca tea, eat light meals, and rest.

Our porters will carry up to 7 kg of your personal belongings. This includes the sleeping bag and inflatable mattress.before starting the tour one day before at 17:00 pm you will have a briefing at your hotel with the tour guide who will give you your Duffle Bag.maximum you will have to put 7kg.
