Finally, we will visit the historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu, considered one of the seven wonders of the world, and we will choose the best travel destination by National Geographic. The Inca Jungle Machu Picchu tour: an impressive and exciting journey expresses the impressive authority of Machu Picchu.
Combine it with a variety of sports and incredible hikes to provide an adventure full of excitement. Also known as the Tropical Inca Trail or the Inca Jungle Trail. It is suggested for people who want something different. Enjoy a trip with the best company along the Inca Trail to the jungle, cycling and trekking in the Peruvian jungle, four days of travel, which ends with the scenes of sunrise in the Inca city of Machu Picchu.
The tour Inca Jungle Trail ungbegins at 7;00 am. Sit back and enjoy the spectacular scenery as you are driven to over 4,200 meters above sea level to the top of Abra Malaga. Take a deep breath, strap on the protective gear provided and take in the majestic mountain before hitting the pavement on brand new mountain bikes. Feel the wind whip your face as you cruise down winding mountain roads, past waterfalls, mountain villages and the occasional road dog.
Almost three hours and a 2,000-meter descent of white knuckled excitement brings you to the lunch stop in Alfamayo. Strip off layers and slap on insect repellent as you enter the pre-jungle climate. After lunch and some time to relax (to let the heat of the afternoon melt away) a short van ride takes you to the start of your first short trek. About 10 minutes, penetrating the jungle takes you to your accommodation for the evening. Our Marvelous lodge provides the perfect backdrop to recover from the trek and recount the excitement of the day. Keep an eye out for the family mongoose and parrot!
Note 1: In the afternoon, we have the option of rafting on the Vilcanota River (optional). This river offers category II and III rapids. For this activity, we will give you a helmet, windbreaks and category V life jacket. This activity is available between the months of April to December, and as stated by the Peruvian government, it is mandatory to know how to swim to perform it.
We walked along the river bank and began to climb. On the way, we will see small coffee plantations, fruit trees, etc. In this area, it is possible to see many types of plants, orchids and birds. We will observe the beauties of the high jungle, which is a biodiversity paradise on the Inca jungle route. After reaching the top of the mountain, we will see the entire Urubamba valley. The group will descend to reach the town of Qellomayo.
After the rest, we will do a 3-hour walk. Passing through farms, rivers and waterfalls until reaching the Santa Teresa hot springs. We will continue walking until we reach the town of Santa Teresa.
Cocalmayo offers several relaxing crystalline hot springs, each with its own temperature. The sound of the river and the stars at night make it a perfect setting. After the hot springs (cocalmayo), we arrive at the city of Santa Teresa, where you will check into a nice and comfortable hotel. After dinner, everyone is invited to visit one of the bars to hang out with the other members of the group.
A choice waits at the outset of the third day: either continue trekking or choose to fly through the air 150 meters above the ground over rivers and jungles! The zip line option includes transport to the zip line facility and 5 zips. Are you brave enough to lean back into the upside-down monkey position? Or spread your wings and dive head first in the incredible superman position.
Make sure you book your zip line ahead of time to ensure the safest, highest and fastest zips (there are several other zip tours of lesser quality). The group will re-form at the Hidrolectrica station for lunch before continuing the trek.
Another three hours of trekking along the train tracks and the raging river brings you to the tourist town of Aguas Calientes. Travelers have the option to visit the local hot springs or relax and explore the town before dinner. Make sure you make it an early night to be awake for the ascent to the jewel of the tour: Machu Picchu!
Your climb to Machu Picchu begins before the sun is up. Ascend step by step for approximately an hour up the Inca staircase to the formerly lost stronghold of Machu Picchu. A 2-hour guided tour reveals mysteries and poses questions of how the Incas lived and were able to achieve such marvelous feats of engineering.
After the tour, you have the option to climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain for an even more incredible view of the ruins and the surrounding sheer cliffs of the Andes. Take your time exploring the wondrous ruins and get that perfect picture before making your descent back to Aguas Calientes.
Your return time to Cusco will depend on which transport option, or return train you select.
Huayna Picchu is the mountain located at the northwest end of the ruins and Machu Picchu mountain is located at the southwest end. Huayna Picchu is steeper, but more popular and has some interesting archeological ruins at the top. Machu Picchu mountain is a longer trek, less steep and less crowded and offers great views over Machu Picchu. Check this amazing link out for views from the Huayna Picchu mountain and Machu Picchu mountain.
The night before your trip to inca jungle trail 4 days to Machu Picchu, information meetings are held at your hotel at 6 pm with your trekking guide. And if you cannot attend at this time, you must arrange to do it at another time.
During the briefing, you will receive your duffel bag for your belongings that you intend to take on the hike, which will not be in your backpack.
These informational meetings last approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
It is very important to be well acclimatized to the altitude before exerting yourself on a hike. We recommend that you arrive in Cusco at least 2 or 3 days before the trek begins to help you acclimatize and avoid possible problems with altitude sickness during the trek.
Suppose you have already been to another area of Peru at a high altitude before arriving in Cusco. In that case, we still recommend that you have a full day in Cusco to rest, recover from your trip and fully enjoy your trek and have a unique experience.
The trek you have booked must be paid in full at the time of breifing or days before departure.
We would greatly appreciate it if you would pay the balance of the trip in cash in US dollars or in local currency. To withdraw here in Cusco we have several ATMs along Av. El Sol (either in US dollars or in local Peruvian soles).
You can pay by credit card or PAYPAL online, but you will have to pay an 8% service charge, charged by VISA and PAYPAL. We do not accept bank checks or payment of the balance with traveler’s checks.
Our PERU TREK Company transports will pick you up from your hotel, as long as you are in the Historic Center of Cusco. Pick-up time will be coordinated with your guide at the briefing. The pick-up time may vary between 30 and 45 minutes due to traffic.
Cusco is a very old city, therefore it has many narrow and cobbled streets. Some hotels and Airbnb may be located on streets with no car access or on long, steep slopes, making it difficult to carry luggage. We strongly recommend that you book an accommodation with good access.
We recommend drinking plenty of water and drinking coca tea that can be ordered wherever you want, it can also be prepared with boiled water and dried coca leaves. At least one day before theinca jungle trail 4 days to Machu Picchu. We recommend you eat light foods and if you have any medication prescribed by your doctor you can take it and the best thing you can do is keep in mind that you will be fine.
Group tours are made up of different types of people. Physical conditions and ages can vary. By agreeing to be part of a group tour, you also agree that some people may be faster or slower than you. Therefore, everyone can go at their own pace on the route. It may be the case that a group wants to modify the route; however, it will be the guide who decides, after consulting with all the participants, if such modifications can be made.
Of course! During the trip, your main luggage can be stored in our office (you can coordinate during the day of the briefing or by email) or at your hotel, both for free.
Any equipment you don’t need on the trek can be safely stored at your hotel. Almost all hotels will offer this service. Do not leave valuables with your bags, put them in the hotel safe and get an itemized receipt (in the unlikely event of theft, many insurance companies require you to have a copy of the receipt with all items). It’s best to put items like credit cards in a sealed and signed envelope for added peace of mind.
Strikes and demonstrations are often frequent in Peru, and this can interrupt some of our planned tours. They can block the roads and take control of the railroad tracks. However, we will try to keep your tour as planned, even if it means leaving the night before your scheduled date. In these circumstances, tours can also be canceled. In case of changes or cancellations, all situations will be coordinated with you by our operations department. Your safety is our top priority and decisions will be made appropriately.

This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Peru. Alex is an amazing guide and very knowledgeable about the area and the flora/fauna. I highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking of trekking to Machu Pichu. I think the combination of different activities along the way makes it more exciting and doing this trip earlier will make your visit to Machu Picchu even more special.
Guided by Julio, we had a spectacular experience. Our guide was just amazing. His passion for him, for what he does and love for his country, for him has made the whole experience truly unforgettable. The experience was very well planned and we got to see a lot. Mountain biking was very safe and a new experience for us. The Inca trails, the thermal baths have been wonderful, the meals and our accommodations are great. We had the most AMAZING time on our Inka Jungle trail expedition. Thank you very much PERU TREK.
