Inca Jungle a Machu Picchu 4 Days / 3 Nights

4 Days from US $ 0.00

There are many ways to hike Machu Picchu and one of the most exciting treks is Machu Picchu Inca Jungle Trek. The trek is often quite popular among backpackers due to its economical price and the fact that it combines hiking with many other fun activities. Below we give you an idea of a day-by-day itinerary of what the Inca Jungle Trek entails.

Itinerary

DAY 1:

ABRA MALAGA PASS – SANTA MARIA (BIKING AND RAFTING

Adventurers will be picked up early in the morning and driven through the dazzling Sacred Valley, cradle of the Inca civilization and dropped off at Abra Malaga at 4,316 m altitude.

Here riders will switch to the kit provided by us (gloves and helmets) after a 20-minute briefing by our experienced tour guide. Then the fun begins to move freely on quiet but challenging roads, passing through changing landscapes and ice-covered mountains, you won’t want to catch your breath until the first stop in Alfamayo, about three hours from your starting point. Here you can enjoy your box lunch provided by us, while taking in the endless panoramas.

After a quick change and a dab of insect repellent, we head to Huamanmarca, site of a recently discovered Inca archaeological find. Your tour guide will give you the historical background and the rest you can fill in!

Continue descending to 1500 meters, as the jungle edge intensifies and the small but charming town of Santa Maria looms on the horizon. Buy supplies or just rest your legs and enjoy a cold beer before dinner. Tonight you can take a hot shower in a family-run lodge and sleep in single, double or triple rooms.

Get up at 5:30 am, and enjoy the best indigenous coffee for breakfast, which is at 6 am.

Under the dawn sky you will start your hike, from this Inca Jungle tour to Machu Picchu, which gets steeper and steeper, until you reach the cozy family restaurant in Santa Rosa, where you can relax in hammocks, admire the coca plantations and have a snack while the family monkey entertains you.

After a while you will reach the real Inca Trail, which winds up steep slopes for about half a mile. Please note that this is not for people who suffer from vertigo!

The descent continues for a little more than two hours until you reach Qellomayo, a small town where you will have lunch.

Make sure you have saved enough energy for the final stretch of the Inca Jungle, a riverside hike along the Vilcanota River to the delightful Colcamayo hot springs. Rejuvenate in the heavenly warm waters and forget your weary wake in these natural surroundings. Fully replenished, you will find the final stretch of Santa Teresa. Here you should get a good night’s sleep.

Wake up at 07:00 hrs, have breakfast before boarding private transportation to the town of Lucmabamba, the entrance to another Inca Trail, which was discovered a few years ago.

We are the only tour company that travels this part of the Inca Trail, so for three and a half hours you will feel like Adam and Eve walking among parrots in this tranquil Garden of Eden. You will be rewarded for your efforts with a view of Machu Picchu from the top of Llactapata, flanked by the peak of Salkantay.

We will have lunch near the hydroelectric train station, from where the train leaves for Aguas Calientes, the base town of Machu Picchu. Dinner at a local restaurant is included before retiring to your lodge with hot water and private bathroom.

Un ascenso temprano hoy, ya que tomará el primer autobús a Machu Picchu a las 5:30 h, llegando a Machu Picchu a las 6:00 hrs, que con suerte coincidirá con un hermoso amanecer!

Tu guía no dejará piedras sin mover, pero no dudes en desafiar su conocimiento de la historia inca. Luego tienes tiempo libre para relajarte con las llamas y presumir de tus habilidades fotográficas.

Aquellos que todavía tienen la voluntad pueden hacer frente a Huaynapicchu. Un servicio de autobús frecuente lleva a los visitantes de regreso a Aguas Calientes, donde tomarán el tren a Hidroeléctrica u Ollantaytambo y luego tomarán el autobús a Cusco.

Importante:

Si desea acceder a la montaña Huayna Picchu o a la Montaña Machu Picchu, debe pagar $ 20 (veinte dólares) adicionales.
Todos los autobuses que regresan del Camino Inca dejan a los pasajeros a una cuadra de la plaza principal, usted va a regresar al hotel por su cuenta.
