Inca Jungle Trek 3 Days

Inca Jungle Trek 3 days to Machu Picchu. It is an adventure tour that involves activities such as cycling, rafting, zip lining, and hiking for 3 days and the last day you will visit Machu Picchu. See places of interest such as Inca ruins, coffee plantations, coca, fruits and enjoy the refreshing natural hot springs of Colcamayo.

Biking is not challenging because you go all the way downhill. You will enjoy any trip more if you are in good physical condition. The best advice we can offer is to follow the training suggestions in our “Before You Go” pre-departure information that we will send you when you book your trip.

The biking terrain is a zigzag paved road going downhill from the beginning to the end while you are biking, some cars will pass you, that’s why all the cyclists always keep their left side. We start our trip with a horse riding session.

We provide full suspension bikes and all cycling gear such as full cycling helmets, elbow pads, knee pads, and full body cycling armor. Remember that you have to carry all your belongings during the walk, but during the cycling, you do not bring anything because the car that will take us to the start of the cycling will always be behind us. The Inca jungle trek 3 days is the most memorable for those who want adventure.

The highlight of the Inca Jungle Trek 3 Days

  • Witness the beauty of the rural Andes as you bike through the corn, quinoa, and potato fields.
  • Fly through the jungle as you zipline among the canopy and beautiful wildlife.
  • Learn about the interesting history of the Incas and observe their impressive structures.
  • Explore the tropical area of Cusco, lawn about the coca leaves, Peruvian coffee, and local endemic fruits.
  • Explore the magical, mystical Machu Picchu.

We will start our Inca Jungle Trail at 6:00 am with a pick-up from your hotel.

The adventure begins at Abra Málaga (4,316 m / 14,160 ft) high pass, with its impressive view of the snow-capped Huacay Willca (Mt. Veronica). Here we will receive our cycling equipment, bicycles and safety instructions.

Then we will begin our descent by bicycle, crossing different ecological zones such as Puna and Cloud Forest, both with a great variety of flora and fauna. After 3 hours of cycling downhill, we will end our cycling trip at the archaeological remains of Huaman Marq’a. Here we will take the van again and drive 25 minutes to the town of Santa María (approximately 1,200 m / 3,937 ft). From this town we will continue by bus for 40 more minutes to the town of Santa Teresa where we will spend our first night, leaving our luggage at the hostel we have the option of going to the hot springs.

Note 01: In the afternoon, we have the option of rafting on the Vilcanota River (optional). This river offers category II and III rapids.

If you do not do the Zip Line, then we walk from Santa Teresa to Hydroelectric for approximately 3 hours. We meet at Hydroelectric with those who did the Zip Lining and those who did not.

  • BEFORE YOU GO

> Information meeting or briefing

The night before your trip to Inca jungle trek 3 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.

> How many days do I need to acclimatize in Cusco before the trip?

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.

> Payment of trek balance in Cusco

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.

> Pick up from your hotel

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.

> What can I do to prevent altitude sickness?

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 the Inca jungle trek 3 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

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.

> Can I store my luggage at your office?

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

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.

> Lost objects

You are responsible for your personal belongings during the Inca jungle trek 3 days to Machu Picchu. Please pay attention to where you leave your belongings and remember to take everything once you leave your bus, tents, and restaurants.

Solo Traveller

We had a great trip with PERU TREK. Our guide Alex knew everything about everything! From information on the local flora and fauna, to exact topographies/geography, Peruvian culture and history, Alex was knowledgeable. It was also a lot of fun spending 3 days with him; As soon as we parted, my husband said how much he missed him. The trip in general was well organized and defined, and I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. Thank you PERU TREK company!

My friend and I took this jungle trek option instead of the longer trek options and we were not disappointed. The activities were fun and I felt safe at all times. We hiked, biked, rafted and zip lined in some beautiful spots and enjoyed every minute.

Our guide Julio was very easy to get along with. Friendly as well as being well organized and clear with any information we need throughout the tour. Thank you very much PERU TREK company.
