This was our itinerary for our trek:
Private Service Lares trek itinerary: 4 days 3 nights
1st. Day: Traditional Villages and Andean Forest
Transfer from your hotel until the place called "Criadero de truchas" (2,900 m.a.s.l) near Urubamba (Sacred Valley) at 9:00 am, meet the horses and set up all the equipment then hike trought small village called "Paccha" where we will have lunch after that spend the night in the area called "Pacchaspata" (3,800 m.a.s.l) where we find a nice forest of native trees called "Queuña"
2nd. Day: Challenging
After breakfast we continue going up until the top of the mountain, the area called "Sicllacc'asa" (4,300 m.a.s.l.) we ask to the mountains all our wishes, we descend having a great views of nice lagoons from melt of glaciers having lunch at "Yanacocha" lagoon then arriving to Cuncani community (alpaca's breeders) where we spend the night.
3rd. Day: Beautiful Hot Springs
Early breakfast then going down to Lares town where the hot springs are, spending our time there and after lunch our transportation will pick us up and leave for Ollantaytambo to take the afternoon/night train to Aguas Calientes where you will spend the night.
4th. Day Machupicchu
Early breakfast to catch the first bus to the archealogical site in order to get tickets to climb "Huaynapicchu" then visiting Machupicchu between 2 hours, after everything we must take the train back to Ollantaytambo.
How long it takes...
The Lares Trek took us 4 days, including Macchu Piccu and Hot Springs.
Who it's appropriate for...
The trek was quite hard work, paticularly the second day when you reach quite high altitudes, but absolutely worth it. The Lares Trek is not as well known as the Inca which makes it a lot quieter and is completely unspoilt.

Yoseline, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. She is only 20 but so knowledgable and really made the experience for us. By the end of it we really felt that we'd made a friend for life. She was very patient with us porr, sad, unfit gringos and made sure we were ok without faffing.

Yoseline guided us on the Lares Trek, where we trekked from near Ollantaytambo, over the mountains, down to Lares town where there were well-needed hot springs.
