He made us comfortable and very supportive during the hike. Gregorio, the chef was an amazing, talented, sweet, and professional. He made us such delicious Purvien food that was better than any restaurant. The rest of team, Victor, Carmelo, and Ermenegildo we’re so attentive, professional, fast, capable, and kind with a big great smiles all the time. They made us feel so relaxed and happy. We loved everyone of them and so appreciate of all they have done to make our camping and hike easy, on time, and successful. We were worried about the hike, but, having such an amazing team behind us with their support, help, and service that we forgot about our worries and enjoyed every moment of our trip. Also, I would like to given thanks to John who picked us from the Train station to Cusco and from hotel to airport the next day. He was a ray of sunshine as well with his knowledge, kindness, and professionalism. I asked his recommendation about where to get chocolate and he gave me great information where to get it. When he picked us up with the driver from hotel to airport the next day, he brought me a chocolate bar that was very sweet of him and I appreciate his kindness. Thank you all at Valencia travel team. I will definitely make my future travel plans with them. I would for sure recommend them to all my family and friends who would like to travel to Peru. Sincerely, Soheyla

7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service: questions travelers ask

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

How much does 7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service cost?

+

Prices start at $910 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 7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service take?

+

Plan for about 168 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 7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service?

+

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 7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 168-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service?

+

Around 1 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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service 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 7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service?

+

Included: Entrance fee to Lares valley; Round trip bus ticket to Machu Picchu from Aguas Calientes; Private transportation to the start of the trail; Lunch; and Horsemen and mules they carry cooking and camping equipment and up to 7 kilos of tourists. Not included: International and local flights; Single supplement fee; Additional nights during the trip due to any flight cancellations; and Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does 7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 163 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.

What languages is 7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service offered in?

+

It is offered in 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 7 Day - Lares Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service?

+

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.
