Avoid the crowds on his independent adventure and head off the beaten track! The challenging Lares trek is a great alternative to the Inca Trail, offering opportunities for insight into rural Andean life as the trail passes through very remote mountain communities, allowing hikers learn about the Inca’s fascinating cultures. Sandwich it between fascinating colonial Cuzco and magical Machu Picchu and you couldn't ask for a more complete Incan experience.
