Lares Valley

Summary Description

Day 1: Cusco - Lares Hot Springs - Huacahuasi

Setting off from Cusco at 6 am, you'll weave through the mountain routes of the sacred valley doing a small Sacred Valley tour towards Lares arriving in time for some lunch. After lunch you'll begin trekking from the 'Bano Termales' of Lares & following an old Inca trail along the Rio Huacahuasi. The rustic towns and children help you along the way. On arriving in Huacahuasi you'll overnight, in this welcoming Quechuan valley town, with the local community.

Day 2 : Huacahuasi - Ipsaycocha - Patacchanta - Cusco

On leaving Huacahuasi the route weaves through more local 'poblados', with glimpses of the Apu Pitusiray Nevada always in the background. Potatoes being cooked using traditional methods out in the open countryside. Passing 4,800m the descent then weaves via Ipsaycocha lake, winding down the valley below heading towards Pataccancha. Crop fields here are being harvested by local families. Pathways carved into the hillsides show the way down to Pataccancha where dinner will be prepared. From here, it's either onwards to Machu Picchu or a drive back to Cusco late on the last evening caps a great couple of days.

Description

Embark on a beautiful 2 day trek through the Lares Valley, a trek through traditional native communities where you can see how these populations survive & thrive using local resources.

Starting at the Hot Springs of Lares Valley you’ll pitstop for lunch after a fairly long drive from Cusco in the morning. After lunch you follow a trail for about 4 hrs to the first campsite of Huachuasi. Here llamas & horses graze and are kept for many of the farmsteads.

On the second beginning from Huachuasi you’ll head deeper into the valleys of this area and see many traditional quechuan farm practices, whilst also scaling a 4,800m mountain pass. On the descent you’ll pass a mountain lake in Ipsaycocha & descend down to the town of Patacchanta for a final lunch, capping a great couple of days before the journey back through to Cusco or the Sacred Valley.
