The Lares Trek through the Sacred Valley is a stunning trip designed to avoid the crowds found on the traditional Inca Trail, with ample opportunities for viewing wildlife, meeting locals, and being immersed in ancient surroundings. G Adventures, Canada’s largest adventure travel company, is pleased to add eight new Lares trekking adventures for 2006.
The trek takes travelers through incredible mountainous surroundings dotted with rural villages, stunning views of snow-capped mountains, scenic lakes, a living Inca settlement and the spectacular valley of Patacancha, where everything remains as it has since ancient times. Following the trek is a scenic train ride to Agua Calientes where we spend the night and then have a guided tour of breathtaking Machu Picchu.
Here is a sampling of these incredible trips:
Amazon to the Andes - Lares
This compact 12-day trip combines the two main regions of Peru for an in-depth taste of what this stunning country has to offer. Start in Cuzco, the heart of the Inca Empire, then trek through the Andes along little-travelled ancient pathways and visit Machu Picchu. Finally, explore the Amazon rainforest from a lodge deep in the Peruvian jungle.
Quest of the Gods – Lares Trek
From the depths of the Amazon to the heights of the Andes and the islands of Lake Titicaca, discover Peru's diverse ecology, geology, and culture. Hike the Lares Trek, visit Machu Picchu and visit the world's highest navigable lake, and do it all in style with us as we see how past and present come together in fascinating Peru.
Absolute Peru – Lares
At 3 weeks, this is one of our most in-depth tours of Peru. Visit the mysterious Nazca Lines, the spectacular Colca Canyon, and colonial Cuzco.
