Lares 2 Days
This trip will take us from Cusco to the Sacred Valley, passing by Calca and going in the direction of the Urubamba Mountain Range, towards a mountain pass, at 4,470 m. above sea level (m.a.s.l.), from which we´ll start our downhill ride, following ancestral trails that will take us from the mountains to the beautiful valley and village of Lares, where we´ll enjoy the region´s best thermal baths.
Day 1:
We´ll leave the city of Cusco, early, to head towards the East, to get to the enigmatic Sacred Valley of the Incas, stopping along the way, to delight over splendid landscapes, and reach the locality of Calca, where we´ll change direction, to ascend from 2,900 m.a.s.l., in the fertile valley, to 4,470 m.a.s.l., at the Lares Mountian Pass, contemplating wonderful views of glaciers and landscapes in which we´ll be able to observe alpacas, chinchillas and Andean birds. The total mountain bike ride is of 30 km., with a 1,250 m. incline, in about 4 horas. Finally, we´ll set our camp in the vicinity of the Lares Thermal Baths, where we´ll enjoy the region´s best thermo-medicinal baths.
Day 2:
After having enjoyed an early morning bath, as well as a succulent and healthy breakfast, our return trip will once again take us to the Lares Mountain Pass, to descend on our mountain bikes, back to the Sacred Valley of the Incas, from the barren plains´ ecological level, passing through a humid forest and ending our ride in the locality of Calca, from which we´ll follow the valley, to return to Cusco. Today, we´ll ride a total of 45 km., concluding our adventure in the magical city of Cusco, passing by the small fortification of Puca Pucara and ending the day at our hotel, in the city´s Historical Center.
