DEPARTURES: Every day
DURATION: 4D/3N
TYPE: Bike &Trekking
PERIOD: All year.

THE INKA JUNGLE TRAIL is considered as one of the most beautiful and completes alternative routes to get to Machu Picchu, because it is flexible and is one of the least explored in the region. On the way, we’ll be able to take long walks during 4 days or we’ll have the option to go on the mountain bike circuit on the first day. It starts at an altitude of 4,215 m. and ends at 2,220 m.a.s.l, enjoying landscapes from the rustic “puna” or highlands, all the way to the tropical forest, as well as the visit of archaeological complexes or small sections of Incan trails with stone stairs, that are little visited by tourists, beautiful waterfalls, natural thermal baths, exotic fruit and the daily life of the area’s settlers with whom we’ll be able to share friendly moments.
