Ever dreamed of hiking to Machu Picchu alongside an incredible group of young single adults? This is your chance. For 8 unforgettable days, you’ll hike, serve, explore, and grow—together.
We’ll begin in Cusco, where you’ll acclimate to the altitude and get a feel for the rich culture of the Andes. From there, we’ll set out on the Lares Trek—a 4-day journey through the heart of the Peruvian mountains. You’ll hike around 25 miles, passing ancient ruins, turquoise lakes, and herds of llamas, all while surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery on earth.
But this trip is about more than just the adventure—it’s about purpose. Along the way, we’ll stop in remote villages to serve the local people. Whether it’s helping with community projects, playing with kids, or offering simple acts of love and kindness, you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for humility, connection, and the joy that comes from giving.
Each night, we’ll gather around the fire for scripture study, journaling, and heartfelt discussions—growing closer to each other and to Jesus Christ. And on the final day, you’ll arrive at the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu, a reward that feels even greater when you’ve earned it step by step.
This is not a vacation—it’s a transformational experience. You need to be in excellent physical condition and ready to hike at high altitudes. But if you’re looking to push yourself, serve others, grow in your faith, and build lifelong friendships—this adventure is for you.
Are you ready?
We’ll begin our journey in Cusco—exploring the vibrant Plaza de Armas and the ancient Sacsayhuaman ruins while acclimating to the altitude. From there, we’ll head into the Sacred Valley to visit the Pisac ruins and its colorful local market before beginning our trek.
The adventure kicks off with a hike to the Kiswarani Waterfall Campsite, followed by a stunning ascent through the Quiswarani Pass. Along the way, we’ll immerse ourselves in the daily life of the Cancha Cancha Village—serving the locals through meaningful, hands-on projects that bring lasting connection and purpose to our journey.
We’ll continue to the Maras Salt Mines before camping beneath the stars in Ollantaytambo, surrounded by history and natural beauty. Then comes the grand finale: a hike to the Sun Gate, where you’ll catch your first unforgettable glimpse of Machu Picchu. Together, we’ll explore this sacred site and reflect on the personal and spiritual journey that brought us there.
