Hello - my boyfriend and I booked a last minute trip to Peru, flying into and out of Lima. That’s all we have booked as our tour operator for the Inca trail just let us know that the trail is now closed until end of March. They are able to transfer us to the Lares trail. I couldn’t find much on this option. Is it worth it? Or are there other trekking options in the andes that are lesser known? We are pretty experienced outdoors people, and can bring all our own equipment if necessary although likely not preferred - but neither of us has been to Peru before and we were hoping to see Macchu Picchu and hike the historic Inca trail. Help! :)
