In October 2014, Mountain Lodges of Peru launched a new program called THE SACRED VALLEY & LARES ADVENTURE, with two new luxury lodges, one in Lamay (Sacred Valley of the Incas) and one in Huacahuasi, a rural community in the Lares highlands. The itinerary offers a-la-carte activities to choose from each day, from cultural excursions to traditional weavers villages, to spectacular hikes with views of distant peaks, and visits of the major archeological sites of Chinchero, Pisac and Ollantaytambo.  The lodge in Huacahuasi is a unique partnership with the local community in the spirit of conservation travel.   A 5- or 7-day program is available from Cusco including a guided tour of Machu Picchu.
