The Lares Trek in a single day: weaving communities, a 4,450 m pass and a soak in hot springs to finish.
What trekkers do in three days, you do here in one. The route starts in Willoc (3,600 m), one of the most authentic Quechua communities in the valley, famous for its red ponchos, and climbs the Patacancha valley on the same ancestral path the muleteers use.
You pass Patacancha (3,800 m), where weaving is still the family trade, and keep gaining height among alpaca herds, wetlands and lakes up to the pass at 4,450 m.
