点评:Having experienced both the Inca trail (in the early 2000's) and returning now with a family. I enjoyed and challenged by both routes towards Machu Picchu. The #Valentin's Pachamama Journeys version of the Lares route was a great combination of homestay and camping. Superb Andean scenery and tranquility, we only met one other couple over 3 day. The route was well paced for 2 adults and 2 teenagers, the food was outstanding and we were well looked after inc marshmallows by the fire, all in the knowledge that part of the trip proceeds supported a local pre school too. We did not feel we missed out on Inca sights as we had explored many as part of acclimatization and felt refreshed from a night in Aquas Caliente before the glory of Machu Picchu. PS a benefit of Lares was it was trail like under foot rather than steps, so kinder on the knees!
翻译:我曾于21世纪初独自徒步过印加古道,如今则带着家人再次踏上旅程。无论是哪条路线,都既令我乐在其中又充满挑战。由Valentin’s Pachamama Journeys安排的拉雷斯路线则完美结合了民宿住宿与露营体验。沿途安第斯山脉的景色绝美且宁静,在整整三天的行程中我们只遇到了另一对旅行者。这条路线对于两位成年人和两名青少年来说节奏恰到好处;食物也极为美味,我们在篝火旁还享用了棉花糖,整个旅程得到了无微不至的照顾。我们心里也清楚,这次旅行的部分费用还用于资助当地的一所幼儿园。我们并不觉得错过了任何印加遗迹的观赏机会,因为为了适应环境我们已经游览过很多景点;而且在抵达马丘比丘之前,我们在阿瓜斯卡尔ientes好好休息了一晚,精神焕发。另外,走拉雷斯路线的一个好处就是路面平坦如小径而非楼梯,对膝盖十分友好呢!
