Lares Valley Trek

After a day of rest in Cusco it was time to start the Lares Valley Trek. I chose a rather expensive company - alpaca expeditions - which claims to have the highest standards for trek safety and quality (good equipment, good food, sat phones) as well as high regard for employees (good salaries) and good environmental stewards. I paid about $600 for 4 days all inclusive (2 camping nights and 1 hotel). Days 1-3 were in the Lares Valley and Day 4 was at Machu Picchu! Some friends paid as low as $160 for other treks... Because Victoria is easier to say and remember then Jordan, I happily went by my middle name during this journey!Read more
