Lares Trek 4 Days

A good tourist destination of Cusco-Peru

LARES TREK 4 DAYS 

Lares was a pre-Inca regional culture that appeared many years before the Incas.  The Lares people were conquered by the Incas at the beginning of their reign and today their heritage is preserved and can be found in local communities such as Cancha Cancha, Quiswarani, Cuncani, etc.  These Lares communities provide the opportunity to experience, share, and learn from the local people about everything inherited from our ancestors including agriculture, herding, weaving and religion. So, through our itinerary “LARES TREK” you will discover the authentic Andean world and contemplate visiting the charming lost Inca city “Machu Picchu”
