Lares Trek






From September 21-23, we left for our Lares trek, but not without a few obstacles along the way. Obstacles included protests in Cusco causing us to leave early for the trek and road work closing the road from Lares back to Cusco causing us to wait 4 hours for the road to open to traffic (once we got on the road we were practically 4-wheeling for an hour). The trek itself was a great insight into the rural, Quechua way of life. On top of beautiful scenery, we were able to interact with the local people and see llamas peeing! Also, Adam caught 2 delicious breakfast trout. We were rewarded at the end of the hike by wonderfully relaxing hot springs in Lares.
