4-Day Inca Jungle Trail to Machu Picchu

ALL ABOUT THIS TRIP

There's no more magical experience in South America than following the same trails as the Incas through spectacular jungled mountains before reaching the ancient lost city of Machu Picchu - and this route which includes downhill mountain-biking is one of the most adventurous way of doing it. You'll spend 1 day biking and 2 days trekking through the Andes, encountering long lost Inca ruins along your way, before finally arriving at the most incredible site on the continent, Machu Picchu. The whole way you'll be accompanied by an expert guide to share the history of everything you find. You'll also have opportunities to add rafting and ziplining to your experience along the way. There's no more rewarding way of seeing Machu Picchu than by trekking there just like the Incas once did, get ready for the trip of a lifetime.
