The Lares trek is a popular alternative to the Inca trail. This trek starts in the north of Urubamba and it is renowned for its traditional quechua communities and strong weaving culture that you can observe during the trek. The traditional villages along the way allow you to experience some time of rural life while enjoying a dramatic and extraordinary landscape of this mountainous territory. As permits are no currently required to travel between Urubamba and Aguas Calientes you can book this trip only a several weeks ahead of your desired departure date.
