Rich Cultural Immersion
The Lares Trail to Machu Picchu is not just about the destination but the journey itself. This route takes you through remote Andean villages where you can engage with local Quechua communities. Unlike the Inca Trail, which primarily focuses on archaeological sites, the Lares Trail immerses you in the daily lives of the indigenous people. You’ll have the opportunity to witness traditional weaving techniques, explore ancient farming practices, and even participate in local rituals. This cultural exchange is a highlight of the Lares experience, offering a deeper understanding of the Andean way of life. https://www.truemountaintraveler.com/
