Inca jungle trek to Machu Picchu 3D/2N

You will begin your day with a pick up from your hostel/hotel/homestay (if within close proximity to the main Plaza) or pick-up at our office between 7:15 to 7:30 am. You will depart for the drive through the Sacred Valley of the Incas where you will be able to appreciate beautiful and scenic natural attractions as well as the culture during the 3-3.5 hour drive. You will arrive at about noon to Abra Malaga, which is at an altitude of 4316 m. From this starting point, you will begin the bike ride down (paved/downhill roads) towards the high forest which takes between 2-3 hours. You will be passing through small villages, orchards, rivers and streams before reaching the Huamanmarca village from where the group will continue with the transportation all the way to Santa Maria. During the descent into the valley, you will also have the support of the transportation because it is going to carry all your belongings during the biking activity, and will also provide security for the group until reaching the town of Santa Maria. After lunch, you have the opportunity to participate in the rafting activity then take transportation to the town of Santa Teresa or take the transportation to the hotsprings and skip the rafting portion. The first night will be spent in Santa Teresa; you will spend our first night in a basic hostel.

 *The river rafting activity is optional and has an extra cost, and is possible to do after lunch on this date OR the hot springs as you will not have time for both.

This morning, following breakfast, there is the option of an extra zip-lining activity (with 6 different cables), followed by a flat walk around the floor of the valley from Santa Teresa. Here you will be able to appreciate the landscape bordered by mountains and nature, leading to Hydroelectrica. Here you will have lunch and then continue our hike to Aguas Calientes for (approximately 3hrs) along the banks of the river and also along the railroad tracks. On this hike you can see the flora and fauna of the area before reaching Aguas Calientes, where you will spend our last night.

(Breakfast, lunch, dinner)

*Extra zip-lining activity

Early in the morning you will get ready to go to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, climbing a path through the jungle. After you will continue to visit within the Inca citadel together with a professional guides who will share with you their knowledge for two hours. After this tour, the guide will then leave the group and there will be free time to visit and walk inside the citadel, or to climb the mountain (Waynapicchu or Machu Picchu if previously booked). The amount of time you have in Machu Picchu will depend on your train schedule so please check that closely.

You will take the tourist train from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo where you will be met by the driver who will guide you to the vehicle that will transport you to the city of Cusco, reaching the end of the services. (The drop off will be at Plaza San Francisco or as close to the Plaza that the transport will be able to pass).
