Wake early for your pickup at 5:00am for your Lares trek to Machu Picchu whether you are in Cusco or Sacred Valley. Within the hour, we will arrive at the ancient remanents of this truly awesome Pisac Inca Citadel. If you look up at the skies, you will be amazed to observe the flight of the Cararcara falcons hovering and circling while they are hunting in the endless sky. Our guide will share with you the history of the Pisac Inca Citadel.
Breakfast is served high above looking down at the deep gorges and awesome views of the Inca city and valleys. Driving onward for 40 more minutes to Huaran, we meet our horsemen and horses. Time to saddle up, boots on, and begin our first 3 hours, gradually ascending up to Cancha cancha. There, we replenish our energy for our trek ahead with a yummy lunch prepared by our personal chef. Cancha cancha, being the the most isolated and self sustainable community – traditional through and through, has no bus route in or out nor electricity. Reestablish your connection with nature and the realness of life with the locals as they share their homes with us. It would be greatly appreciated if you could share some toys, old useful clothes, notebooks, fruit or any other items with the locals. Two hours later, we have completed our first day of trekking and arrive at our campsite. Boots off, time to enjoy some tea or coffee with amazing views of the frozen Andean peaks. After dinner, our guide will teach you the Inca Constellations, which they depended on for their agricultural guidance and still do to this present day.
