    Book with discoverepachamama right now or you are making a mistake.

    Marisol and Jose are some of the best people in the world. They treat you like family and make every individual person feel important. They give you all of the information and they are very supportive when the hike can get exhausting. I felt like one of their sons haha they were so awesome! I am going to miss them and especially Marisol, she is so personable and she genuinely cares about you, Jose does as well! I 1000000% percent recommend discoverpachamama. They are not too pricey and you 1000% get way more than what you pay for, thank you Marisol and Jose and the whole staff. I consider you guys my family.

    Adventure is out there!

    This was an amazing experience. I was given the opportunity to do something hard, to push myself to do things I didn’t know I was capable of and the reward was incredible. You are surrounded by beautiful creations. One of my highlights was visiting the people in the different villages. I got to learn how they live life and I developed an appreciation for their hard work.

    Beauty of nature!

    I honestly didn’t know what I was expecting, but they exceeded mine!! They did so much for all of us in the group and they helped when I got altitude sickness! I learned so much and learned a deeper meaning of the beautiful nature around us!! What a great experience and I thank this tour for it!

    4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

    How much does 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu cost?

    +

    Prices start at $680 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu take?

    +

    Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

    Is 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cusco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cusco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cusco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu?

    +

    Included: Cusco Hotel Pick up and Drop off service; Horses and mules for equipment and a 10 kg personal porter allowance; Lunch; Round trip Expedition train, Ollantaytambo - Aguas Calientes; and Biodegradable soap and private portable toilet. Not included: Energy snacks and energy drinks if desired; and PerTravel insurance (highly recommended)sonal Experiences. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 216 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 4 Days Lares Trek to Machu Picchu if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cusco. Standard cancellation terms apply.
