For curious travelers: it’s important to know that most alternative trekking routes and some parts of the history of Lares trek are poorly known. Many of their origins are based on assumptions that may or may not be accurate.
Some of these assumptions supporting the history of the Lares trek date back to the time of the Inca Empire when there were extensive networks of roads that connected major cities to facilitate the transport of goods, communication, and mobilization. In this context, the Lares trek route links the Sacred Valley with the citadel of Machu Picchu and the Sacred and Lares Valley.
Remember that many trekking routes were once ancient trails, so history is never lacking.
Once the Spanish arrived and the Inca Empire fell, much of this road network fell into ruin over the years, to the point where many routes disappeared due to lack of use, such as the Lares trek. However, in recent years, thanks to the Peruvian government’s interest in preserving part of the country’s history and Inca Trails, small ancient routes have been discovered and restored.
You should know that many of these routes are commonly used by local inhabitants and are also gaining popularity among intrepid tourists.
Today, the opportunity to walk part of these Inca Trails is opened to any traveler who wishes to add a touch of nature and adventure to their journey and also the chance to share moments with the locals who live in the area, people who still maintain their traditions and customs.
