Pre and Post Trek Additional Travel ServiceOur travelers recognize us for something unique, and it’s not for building lodges on a remote mountain trail, but for the experience, service and magic we have created. As a consequence of our success with the Salkantay lodge to lodge journey to Machu Picchu, our first adventure, the market values us as a boutique operation, highly focused on customer service, always striving for excellence, and fused with a significant attention to detail. Our motivation is to design superb travel experiences and create wondrous memories for our guests - on some occasions - even life-changing ones!

Lima:Did you know that most international flights arrive at Lima Airport either late at night (11pm) or early in the morning (5am) and that connecting flights to Cusco start at 6am? Spending the night at a Lima hotel (even for a few hours) will allow you some rest so that you can better enjoy the rest of your trip. We can book a range of hotels (from 3 to 5 stars) for you at the airport or in the cosmopolitan districts of Lima. Cusco We always recommend that our guests spend at least two nights in.

Cusco:Prior to the start of your adventure (if your travel allows it) in order to better adjust to the elevation. We would be happy to take care of your hotel reservations, transfers and can set up personalized tours during your stay in Cusco. Enjoy exploring the city of Cusco and its surroundings, which offer many great cultural and historical attractions. Additionally, you can enjoy fine dining, traditional shows, and bargain shopping.

Extension Packages:Do you feel like exploring more of Peru? Ask for the extension brochure we have designed for you. Explore the colorful island communities of Lake Titicaca (the highest navigable lake in the world), adventure into the rich wilderness of the Peruvian Amazon jungle, or visit Colca Canyon, with its incredible depths, Inca terraces, and soaring condors.

We recommend that our guests spend at least 2 nights in Cusco prior to departure. This helps with acclimatization to the altitude and also provides an opportunity to explore the beautiful city of Cusco (11,200’). Travelers can feel the effects of higher altitudes as low as 6000 feet (2000 meters) above sea level. They differ in their tolerance for high altitude conditions and how their bodies react to the changes in air pressure and oxygen level. Therefore we encourage our guests to undergo appropriate preparation by incorporating regular exercise in their daily routine, even if conducted at low elevation, and to adopt a healthy, balanced diet prior to the trip. The Lares Adventure itinerary is designed to allow everyone to hike and explore at their own pace, with plenty of breaks throughout the day. This is in essence what leads to a successful and enjoyable trip. Please contact your physician to assess your physical conditions and for his advice on how best to prepare to fully enjoy your travel experience.

We provide one Trip Leader for a group of up to 7 guests. For groups of 8 or more guests, the trip leader is supported by an assistant guide. Our guides are among the best in Peru (some even having won international awards!) and have on average at least 15 years of experience guiding in the mountains, not only in Peru, but around the world. Many of them are considered pioneers in this area, having scouted many of the current routes in the country. All MLP guides have excellent language skills, and are highly trained in managing group dynamics. All guides undergo continuous medical and rescue training, with a certification in “Wilderness First Aid.” You will appreciate their knowledge of history and cultural traditions, as well as their interpretation of local flora and fauna, and their great insights (and stories!) that go far beyond any guide or history book! Since the leaders have been guiding this particular hike for several years, they have made friends in the local communities, thus allowing genuine and spontaneous encounters during the journey, which often provide unforgettable experiences for our guests. In their hands, you will feel safe and well taken care of!

The two programs (5 day and 7 day) offer a variety of day hikes and activities ranging from easy, to moderate and strenuous, depending on the level and abilities of the guests. The hikes and cultural visits take place at elevations between 7,000 and 14,000 ft (2,000-4,000 m) on diverse types of trails ranging from flat and grassy to steps or rocky slopes. Weather conditions may affect the choice of activities.Age Limits: The recommended minimum age of participants is 12 years old. However, we may consider exceptions depending on experience and physical conditions.

Guides

We provide briefing in Cusco on the evening prior to the start of the adventure. The meeting is held in our hotel El Mercado by the trip leader and all participants are requested to attend. The briefing consists of the following: • “Meet and Greet”with the group and the lead guide • Review of the detailed itinerary and any last-minute changes • Confirmation of specific dietary and medical information of the participants • Address frequently asked questions (and answers) • Verify that participants have the necessary gear and equipment

Important Note: You will be receiving an invitation via email with the time and place of the briefing, including a map with directions to the briefing. Please note that if your arrival into Cusco is delayed and you are unable to join your group for the transfer on Day 1 to the first lodge, we can arrange private transfer for you to join the group at additional cost.

Founded by Mountain Lodges of Peru, Yanapana Perú is a non-profit organization.Our purpose is to reduce extreme poverty in MLP’s areas of operation by improving the quality of life in Andean communities through sustainable community development activities.

Our current projects include employment training, educational programs, health care, and environmental protection. Our target families tend to live below the poverty line. At the primary school of Maychayhuaycco, an isolated community located high above MLP’s lodge in Collpa, we financed the construction of a greenhouse for organic farming, a shed for raising animals like guinea pigs and chickens, new bathrooms as well as the rehabilitation of the old school building. The project enables the school to help improve the children’s diet using locally grown healthy and organic vegetables.

In addition, teachers have access to more comfortable accommodation and are therefore better motivated. Your choice to make use of MLP’s services automatically helps Yanapana Peru. You can additionally help us by donating school supplies, winter clothing, kitchenware, and/or sponsoring a child. Cash contributions are welcome and just a small amount can go very far in these communities. For more information, please don’t hesitate to contact your travel specialist.

Thank you for your help!
