South America 3 week Adventure! Help needed!

    Hi all. Myself and my other half are heading to South America for three weeks in October. I have a plan to visit Cusco in Peru for 8 days or so and of course take in Machu Picchu. My Question is:

    Would anyone recommend the lesser travelled "Lares Trek" rather than the "Classic Inca Trail"?

    Then we'll be taking the train from Cusco to Puno (Lake Titicaca). Now for the main point of me putting up this post...can anyone recommend what to do for a couple of days around Lake Titicaca or indeed where to stay?

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey,

    I did the Salkantay trek a few years ago and it was fantastic. Its a 5 day trek and it was beautiful. Day two is tough and we had snow for some of it but the rest is fine and very relaxing. I would have done the Lares but was on a year trip and money was tight but the Lares trek is supposed to be the best, from what I heard.

    As for Lake Tititaca, I stayed in Puno and was not that impressed with it. If I were you, I would stay in copacabana on the Bolivian side if you are heading to that side of the lake. Or how about going to Arequipa? Its a really great town, very laid back and safe.
