Amazing!

We had originally wanted to do the Inca Trek, but it was sold out. We ended up on the Lares Trek and I am so happy it worked out this way. We didn't see any other toursits until we reached Machu Picchu. We were able to cater the hiking pace to us and our guide Percy was very accommodating. We couldn't be happier with our trip!
