Lares Trek - Quishuarani to Huaran, Peru - June 2012
Read MoreRoute 5: Huaran to Lares
The final route worth mentioning is generally done by trekkers who have already been to Machu Picchu and are looking for an Andean trekking experience that provides lots of opportunities to interact with locals.
Opposite of what I did -- Starting in the Sacred Valley at Huaran (2,885m), the route follows a 4-5 day itinerary up and over the Pachacutec Pass (4,200m) to Quishuarani (3,700m).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canchacanchajasa... Canchacanchajasa
