Four Andean mountain children dress in traditional red ponchos in the Cordillera Urubamba, Andes highlands, Peru, South America. The moderately strenuous trek from Lares to Patacancha (near Ollantaytambo) traverses rugged, little-visited country in the Cordillera Urubamba across passes at 13,800 and 14,200 feet elevation. A five hour bus ride from Cuzco reaches Lares, where you can soak in developed hot spring pools. Llamas and horses carried our loads for two nights of camping at 12,500 feet elevation.
