Resume
DESCRIPTION This remote and rarely visited region offers the trekker an insight into traditional Andean life; a timeless world where farmers plant their crops on the lands their ancestors tended and watch over herds of llama and alpaca beneath the sacred snow-covered peaks they worshipped as gods. The trail is one of the Inca trails from the time of the Inca Empire. Today, the trail is still in use by farmers, who are Inca descendents. The trail connects the communities of Cuncani, Quisuarani and Lares with life in the Sacred Valley. On the third day, we'll take the afternoon train to Machupicchu Pueblo, having a full day to explore the Machupicchu Sanctuary the next day. Runtime: 4 days / 3nigths Difficulty Level: Moderate (6 hours walking a day) Trek Type: SIC Standard & Private Departures: Every day Season: April to December Language: Spanish, English (according to client´s wishes)
