<h2>Lares trek to Machu Picchu - Trip Overview</h2>
The Lares Trek is one of the most popular alternative treks to the classic Inca Trail. It doesn&rsquo;t include as many Inca ruins as the Inca Trail, but it more than makes up for that by offering a fascinating hike through magical landscapes and a far more in-depth look at local life in the Andean region of Peru (a cultural element not found on the classic Inca Trail trek). It&rsquo;s also slightly shorter &ndash; but higher &ndash; than the Inca Trail, and you&rsquo;ll see far fewer trekkers along the route.
Our seven-day Lares Trail to Machu Picchu takes you deep into the heart of the Andes, to a remote landscape of towering mountains, shimmering mountain lakes and staggering views. You&rsquo;ll also experience the living traditions of the local people as we pass through ancient villages of agricultural and alpaca farmlands, meeting friendly Quechua people who will be happy to share their culture with you. Try and book off season, there are fewer people in Cusco! This Lares Valley Trek to Machu Picchu is also much greener and the valleys more stunning in January for example, after a few showers of rain!
And then, of course, there&rsquo;s our final destination: Machu Picchu. We&rsquo;ll get there on Day 4 and you&rsquo;ll have plenty of time to explore the magnificent Inca citadel, one of the seven new wonders of the world. As Lares Trek tour operators, we&rsquo;ll ensure your experience is fun and unforgettable.

Lares Trek To Machu Picchu

If you don&rsquo;t feel like doing the full Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu, or you simply don&rsquo;t have the time, then our short Inca Trail trek (two days and one night) could be a great option for you. Physically speaking, it&rsquo;s a far less strenuous trek than the classic four-day hike, but it still gives you a taste of what it&rsquo;s like on the Inca Trail.&nbsp;
You&rsquo;ll also be able to experience some of the main highlights of the Inca Trail, including the beautiful Wi&ntilde;ay Wayna archaeological site with its spectacular series of agricultural terraces, as well as Inti Punku, Machu Picchu&rsquo;s famous Sun Gate. And then, of course, there&rsquo;s Machu Picchu itself, one of the most sublime sights on the planet. Try and book off season, there are fewer people in Cusco! Avoid February however as the Inca Trail is closed for the month of February.

On this express inca trail in addition to the fantastic views you can get spectacular and anciend ruins on route including the sunset over Machu Picchu

Inca Trail Express to Machu Picchu

The Ausangate trek is considered one of the most challenging treks to Machu Picchu, in large part due to the high altitude along the route. But if you&rsquo;re up for the challenge, the Ausangate trek is one of the most naturally beautiful treks in Peru, passing through unspoiled landscapes of snow-capped mountains, glaciers and crystalline lakes.&nbsp; &nbsp;
The trek takes its name from The Apu Ausangate, Apus meaning &ldquo;Sacred Mountain, in the native language of Quechua. A huge glacier with various peaks, the highest measuring 6,384 m (20,945 ft). Ausangate was an important mountain in Inca mythology and even today, is still considered a deity. The trek circles around the flanks of this spectacular mountain, through pristine landscapes where the only signs of human activity are tiny hamlets and high mountain trails used by the local llama and alpaca herding communities. This trail is also far less traveled by other trekkers, making it ideal for people who really want to get away from it all get off the beaten path and explore a remote yet stunning part of Peru. Why don&rsquo;t you try off season? March, April, September and October are particularly good months, either side of high season, the weather is still decent and there are fewer people!&nbsp;
Our Ausangate trek ends with a day exploring Machu Picchu. It also includes the spectacular &ldquo;Vinicunca&rdquo;, the Rainbow Mountain! Experience all of this on the Machu Picchu &amp; Rainbow Mountain tour!

The Ausangate trek is one of the most naturally beautiful treks in Peru. Book this 10 day Machu Picchu & Rainbow Mountain tour with Valencia Travel Cusco!

<h2>Hike The Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Trip Overview</h2>
 The Machu Picchu Inca Trail trek is one of the most famous Inca Trail trips in South America, and for very good reason. Combining history, wildlife and spectacular scenery, this four-day, three-night adventure is an unforgettable experience, with the final destination being Machu Picchu itself. A magnificent Inca archaeological site that ranks among the world&rsquo;s most impressive sites.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Machu Picchu Inca Trail tour is only about 42 km (26 miles) long, but it ascends and descends through mountains, rising up through three mountain passes, and generally takes a circular route through the tricky terrain of the Andean region in this part of Peru. This makes it a more strenuous 42 km than most, however, it is a hike with spectacular scenery, passing through various Andean environments including cloud forest and alpine tundra.&nbsp;
While trekking the Inca jungle trail to Machu Picchu, you&rsquo;ll pass through an area of great biodiversity. At any moment you could come across orchids, foxes, cocks-of -the-rock (Peru&rsquo;s national bird), spectacled bears, deer and many more species of flora and fauna. As you hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, you&rsquo;ll also pass by other impressive Inca ruins, such as Wi&ntilde;ay Way&ntilde;a and Phuyupatamarca. This trail an incredibly rich trekking experience, and that&rsquo;s before you even reach your destination; the sublime mountaintop Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.&nbsp;&nbsp;
It&rsquo;s impossible to overstate the beauty of Machu Picchu; from its incredible architecture, to the surrounding mountains and mist-filled gorges. But we won&rsquo;t attempt to describe it all here. It would be far better if you come with us on the classic Inca Trail and Machu Picchu tour, with our professional guides, porters and talented cooks, and discover this magical trek for yourself.&nbsp;

Of all the various treks to Machu Picchu, none can compete with the Salkantay trekking tour in terms of scenery. It&rsquo;s a spectacular route, passing through jungles and mountain passes, and dotted with azure lagoons. And at the heart of the Machu Picchu mountain hike is Salkantay Mountain, which at 6,271 m (20,574 ft) is the highest peak in the Vilcabamba mountain range and the twelfth-highest in Peru.&nbsp;
Our 8 day Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu hiking tour traverses the flank of this sacred mountain, offering some of the most awe-inspiring views in Peru. It&rsquo;s one of the more challenging alternative routes to Machu Picchu, simply because of the high altitude. But it also receives far fewer trekkers than the classic Inca Trail, so you can walk through this natural and remote paradise comparatively free from fellow humans &ndash; but you might have to share the stunning scenery with Andean condors and other local wildlife. Why don&rsquo;t you try off season? March, April, September and October are particularly good months, either side of high season, the weather is still decent and there are fewer people!
