This spectacular 4-day program has been specially designed for people who are looking for an
exclusive route, far from the usual tourist routes and allows them to see traditional Andean
communities. The route begins in Lares and go through a rough pass before descending to
Chanchani and Chaullacocha where we will have the opportunity to visit the school. These are
typical Andean communities dedicated to farming, livestock and weaving, where people still
wear the impressive traditional costumes of the area, and we can appreciate their generous
hospitality. Finally, we will descend to Ollantaytambo to take the train to Machu Picchu, and
spend the last day, exploring the famous Inca citadel.
