Randonnée dans la vallée de Lares avec source chaude 4 - Jour, 3 - Nuit

An amazing trip of a lifetime! I was worried before the trek if we would handle it , we were older than the rest of our group but our wonderful guide Valentin was so reassuring and helped us all the way. He even helped my husband by offering a horse for the steep part pf the hike.he also was great company, even when things didn’t go to plan such as a 5 hour train delay , he handled everything superbly and very calm. The meals cooked on the trip were amazing plentiful and varied all made possible in very basic facilities by our wonderful chef Miguel

We had a great experience doing the Lares Trek to Machu Picchu. Our guide, Valentin, was amazing and made our journey unforgettable, answering all our questions, making sure we all had a good time, and adjusting the pace whenever needed. A special thanks to our chef, Miguel, for the top-quality meals, and to the porters who did a fantastic job and were always ready to help. Armando

What an incredible experience the Lares trek is! We are so grateful to our fabulous guide Celio for making the hard work fun and also to everyone else involved in getting us over that spectacular mountain….the chefs, porters, horsemen and horses….everyone was amazing!

Juan Carlos (Pilco) was a fantastic guide, assisted by Felix. Together they were on top of all of the admin and great company to be around for our Lares Trek tour to machu picchu. The chef Octavio also produced great food for us across the journey. Overall had a great time.

This was the most incredible travel experience and made me want to do more guided treks in the future! Everyone on the staff, but especially our guides Juan Carlos & Romario & our chef Miguel, made this a great trip. Their knowledge of the region, Peruvian history, and more made this especially interesting. I would highly recommend the Lares trek in particular as we only saw 2 other tour groups the entire time, each with 4 people or less. It was empty and peaceful when we went mid-September.

Guides Juan Carlos Zuloaga and Romario were friendly, patient and generously shared their knowledge of local culture and history and chef Miguel always provided healthy, delicious and plentiful meals.

Great experience and enjoyed the experience with the group. Great tour guide. Alpaca provided a great service

We had a fantastic experience with Alpaca Expeditions doing the Lares trek. They are a well oiled machine and extremely professional. The food by our chef Miguel was top notch, truly delicious food and very impressive how he was able to cook such great meals out in the wilderness. Our guide Yojhan (Joey) was the absolute best. He took such great care of us on our trip always making sure we were warm and comfortable and giving tons of great insight into the surrounding nature and local culture and customs. He was particularly helpful supporting my mom who was struggling with altitude sickness and went above and beyond to make arrangements for her so she was comfortable and safe. He was truly the best guide we’ve ever had and are so grateful for all of his help.

This really was the highlight of our adventure in Peru. The early hours took some getting used to but the fantastic breakfast really made up for that. Our guide Valentin was great, he knows a lot and even though English isn’t his first language he could answer all our questions and tell us everything we needed to know. We were with a group of four people which I guess is a little on the smaller size but that definitely didn’t hurt our experience. All in all, if you’re looking for an adventure that’s still pretty doable this is a great option.

We had an amazing time on our tour with Valentin. He made sure everyone was doing well and feeling comfortable throughout the entire trek. He was incredibly supportive, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. He also taught us so much about local life and the culture of the area, as well as the fascinating history of the Incas, which I found especially interesting. Our chef, Mijael, was absolutely the best! We enjoyed so many delicious local dishes throughout the trek, and every meal was better than the last. There was always an amazing variety of options to choose from, and everything tasted incredible. It was honestly impressive to have such delicious and diverse meals while trekking. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and Valentin and Mijael played a huge part in making the trek so enjoyable. Highly recommended!
