introduction
Trekking in the Lares area is like stepping back into the past. We will meet villagers farming potatoes by hand as they have done for centuries. The locals continue to dress in the famous red ponchos and we will have the opportunity to see the women weaving these. We trek over high passes surrounded by alpacas and llamas with views of high snow peaks.

We will have lunch before taking the afternoon train to Aguas Calientes where we book into our hostel for a well deserved shower. We will have time to visit the famous hot springs to soak aching muscles whilst sipping a cocktail before heading out for dinner.
DAY 4; Aguas Calientes-Machu Picchu -Cusco.
After an early breakfast, we take the bus up to Machu Picchu, arriving well before the majority of tourists. You will have a guided tour of the site for two hours before having a bit of free time and making your way back on the bus to Aguas Calientes.
