We had a great time hiking to Machu Picchu with Lares Trip :)
Our communication was clear from the biginning to the end.
The Trek from Sacred Valley to the natural hot springs was impressive. We saw lakes, sharpy mountains, alpacas, llamas, native people and finished in the hot springs.
After finishing the hike, we took prívate car to Ollantaytambo town, then we took train to Machu Picchu village where we spent the night and the last which was day four was to visit Machu Picchu site.
Along the expedition, we were with horsemen, chef, assistant chef, and our tour guide Rubén. The crew gave us a great service. The food was impressive, horsemen were very friendly and our tour was very informative.
We highly recommend hiking the Lares Trek with this locally owmed company!
