Our Salkantay Trek was cancelled... (we did the Lares Trek instead)

Описание: I made this video because when our Salkantay Trek was cancelled for landslides, we got rebooked to Lares and could not find ANY helpful information on the internet about it... so I hope this video shows you what to expect, and maybe even convinces you to try Lares instead of Salkantay or Inca.

Lares is an off-the-beaten-path trek with an immersion into the Andean culture and way of life. It was incredibly eye-opening and one of the best experiences of my life!

If you have any questions, please drop them in the comments, and I will respond as soon as possible :)
