Tour Overview
From USD 250 Per PersonThe Inca Jungle Tour Machu Picchu 3 Days takes a shorter route without losing the variety that makes this trek different from the standard options. Landscapes shift between mountains, rivers, and tropical forests across the three days, nothing stays the same for long. Activities are built around action and scenery, all moving through changing terrain at a safe pace.
Mountain biking and trail walks pass through waterfalls and dense vegetation throughout the trek. Coffee plantations and rural communities come up along the way, giving direct contact with Andean culture and local life without feeling staged. Nights are spent in comfortable accommodations, a decent recovery after days that actually wear you out.
The trek closes with a guided visit to Machu Picchu, covering temples, terraces, and main pathways on the ground. The guide breaks down the history and significance of each section at a pace that lets it sink in. It wraps up with a solid understanding of the site and what it actually represents.
The day starts with hotel pickup between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. We start the journey through the scenic Sacred Valley of the Incas. We pass Chinchero without stopping, enjoying views of Andean villages and the Vilcabamba and Vilcanota mountain ranges. The route continues towards Ollantaytambo for a brief stretch and photo opportunity.
After two hours, visit Ollantaytambo, the ancient Inca town. Explore its streets and enjoy the historical atmosphere. Continue towards Abra Málaga at 4,350 meters (14,271 feet). Receive a safety briefing before starting the cycling adventure.
Descend 60 km (37 miles) from Abra Málaga on mountain bikes, with impressive views of Veronica snow-capped peak. Pause at Huamanmarca archaeological site for lunch and exploration. Cycle through forests, rivers, and scenic landscapes in the heart of the Andes.
