Itinerary description
Beautiful hike, lakes and wide landscapes.
Even if the announced plan is to walk until Lares, now there's a road to Cuncani and a car waits for us there.
We are surprised and insist to walk. The car takes us only to a bridge (the straight in the track) to shorten a bit the walk (apparently we would have had to walk on that road anyway).
The descent to Lares is no high mountain, goes above a river, there's agriculture, houses etc, but it's a nice walk that we do very quickly to arrive for lunch to the Lares hot springs.
Apparently many people like to be picked up at Cuncani as the distance to Lares makes the walk a bit long, but if you like to walk go for it. It will depend also on how long you want to be soaking in the hot waters.
