comamos=let's eat - hablemos=let's talk - etc. In general, one simply uses the 1st person plural of the present subjunctive.
As stated "vamos a intentar ..." can be used with that sense but it can also be interpreted as "we are going to try ..." / "we will try ..."
Vamos a tienda Vamos a intentar eso
Vamos by itself is used to means let´s go.
lechuga ![]()
Let's (let us)
Let's + Verb = Imperative
Ex.:
Let's go! : ¡Vamos! or ¡Vámonos!
Let's pray!: ¡Oremos!
Let's not argue about it: No discutamos

None, because Spanish doesn't have such a word. Actually, I don't know any other language that has such a word. See other people's comments for alternatives ways of expressing the same thing.
"Let's" is a helping word in English. It doesn't get translated exactly into Spanish. It's implied as part of the verb conjugation and the sentence structure. In other words, you don't say it exactly word-for-word the same in Spanish, as Margaret-Nah said.
Also the subjunctive first person plural of verbs can mean "let's do" that verb.
