Lares trek with Jair
When we were booking for our Machu Picchu tour we were overwhelmed with the choices! We booked with Kandoo tours and later found out we were with their smaller company called conde travel. We have nothing but praise for the company, we went to see them at their office the day before the tour to get all of the info which was unnecessary because our lovely guide Jair came to our hotel the night before and have us a step by step run through of the next four days, we were extremely lucky because our tour ended up being private due to another couple pulling out! The tour was amazing, we saw THE most beautiful landscape I can ever imagine and got the chance to camp with locals and enjoy local culture. The chef was incredible, i am a Vegan and had three full fresh vegan meals provided for me every day, my boyfriend is a meat lover and enjoyed both every meal that was given for him too! The horse man that helped us throughout the trip was very attentive, we enjoyed both of their company. Jair was an amazing guide, he helped us through the hardest sections, taught us about the landscape and filled our heads with great Inka knowledge. Also the hostel we stayed in the night before Machu Pichu mountain was very clean, the nicest hostel I’ve seen. We would highly recommend this tour and these three staff members in particular!! Thank you X1000!!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lares Trek Private Service: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How does Lares Trek Private Service compare to similar tours in Cusco?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 55. At $900 it sits above the typical similar option ($43), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Lares Trek Private Service best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 96-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Lares Trek Private Service good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $900, above the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.
How much does Lares Trek Private Service cost?
+
Prices start at $900 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 Lares Trek Private Service 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 Lares Trek Private Service worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lares Trek Private Service?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lares Trek Private Service 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 Lares Trek Private Service?
+
Around 0 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 Lares Trek 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), Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek (Meals Included). 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 Lares Trek Private Service?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; Breakfast; Dining tent with tables and chairs; and Private transportation from your hotel, Cusco - Lares. Not included: Sleeping bag; Breakfast on the first day and lunch on the last day; and Horses to carry your luggage or to ride. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Lares Trek Private Service include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 183 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Lares Trek 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 Lares Trek Private Service?
+

+
