2 Day tour Rainbow trout fishing in Chaullacocha lagoon, hot springs in Lares valley and back to Cusco
Definitely the exposure to traditional Andean culture! This is the way to experience what life is like in the mountains of Peru. This ADVENTURE tour will take you through several Andean villages where you will travel past traditional stone houses with thatched roofs, using some of the same paths that locals use every day. There is lots of opportunity to spot children tending herds of llamas and alpacas, and women in colorful dress spinning and weaving specially the Women from Chaullacocha take an opportunity to work on their weavings. Not only that, but for an even more immersive experience, you can opt to stay overnight with a local family! Many of our adventure tour options include a night in or near Chaullacocha, but instead of camping, you can choose a homestay instead! You’ll spend the night in the home of one of the villagers, in basic but comfortable conditions, and see first-hand the way people in the Andes live. Time permitting, the family may treat you to a weaving demonstration, some Andean music or even a chance to fish in the nearby lake! After all, Chaullacocha literally means “fish lake” in Quechua!
The heights of the Sacred Valley of the Incas are home to a small community with a set of streams that form an impressive lagoon for sport fishing for rainbow trout. We begin the adventure by picking you up from your hotel early in the morning in your private vehicle, we head 60km northwest of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, until we reach the Inca city Ollantaytambo with beautiful and magical views of its archaeological centers. We continue our route 31km towards the community of Chaullacocha, the entire route is full of diverse views of the Andean fauna and flora. We will arrive at the community of Chaullacocha, we will have breakfast with the community who will share their local Andean cuisine with us along with their customs and experiences.Lunch time arrives and we will have a buffet served with local products, then we head to the Chaullacocha lagoon for an afternoon of sport fishing. Rest one night in a rustic Andean house. Visit the hot springs of the Lares Valley and explore the town. “Climate and technique influence fishing success, so it is not guaranteed that all members of the tour will be able to catch a rainbow trout, but their existence is guaranteed”
Although the best time to this ACTVITY is considered to be the dry season (March through August), there are some considerable advantages in the wet season. First of all, the rain makes everything lush and green giving you a whole new perspective. Not only that but with most tourists coming during dry season, it’s possible to have a much more personal experience while adventures in the wet season. The trails are empty, and crowds will have thinned out at some of the popular tourist sites – even Machu Picchu!
