If you are looking for an alternative trek to the Inca Trail with almost no other tourists and incredible exposure to the local culture, this is a good choice. Hike on old Incan routes and finish at the main quarry for the Inca ruins of Ollantaytambo.

The Sacred Valley Trek - unique to Zephyr Adventures - runs from Pisac, just outside Cusco, along the Urubamba River to Ollantaytambo and beyond. Most people simply take a bus from Cusco to Ollantaytambo, missing all the beauty.

The lost Inca city of Machu Picchu is one of the most beautiful and enigmatic archaeological sites in the world. The cloud-shrouded citadel has managed to preserve its secrets and maintain its air of mystery over the centuries.

There are many amazing things about the Lares trek; it doesn't require an Inca Trail pass, it winds through multiple Andean communities, it has the greatest degree of cultural involvement of all our treks and you will likely see few other visitors.
