The 10 Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu Tours from Cusco That Earn Their Price

1.4-Day Inca Jungle Adventure, Mountain Biking, Rafting and Zipline

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 60 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $378Our pick

Ride downhill from Abra Málaga, raft toward Santa María, hike through coffee and coca fields, zipline near Santa Teresa, then walk to Machu Picchu. This small-group trip includes three nights, meals, a guide and the train to Ollantaytambo, but Machu Picchu entry and the mountain bus cost extra.

“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”

2.4 Days Inca Jungle to Machu Picchu Standard

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 48 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $455

You’ll travel from Cusco to Machu Picchu by mountain bike, foot, raft, and optional zipline, with three nights of basic lodging and a bilingual guide. Expect coffee farms, Cocalmayo hot springs, a long walk to Aguas Calientes, and an early Machu Picchu visit. Optional activities cost extra.

“The tour itself was fantastic and one of the best experiences of my life! Everything was really well organized through Condetravel and we had the best group and guides! The tour is not for the weak as there is a lot of physical activity, but the guides kept a pace everyone could keep up with. As far as food goes, I opted for vegetarian options, but they could not accommodate that since you are staying with families in remote areas who eat meat from their farms, but you can get by. Sleeping accommodations were basic, but comfortable. Keep a LOT of bug spray on you for this trek. No wifi…”

3.4-Day Inca Jungle Adventure to Machu Picchu

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 45 reviews · 4 days · from $519

Trade the usual route for four active days from Cusco to Machu Picchu. Bike down from Malaga Pass, hike through coffee farms and an old Inca route, add rafting and ziplining, then visit Machu Picchu with a bilingual guide. Guides such as Wilbert, Freddy, and Jonny bring history and good company.

“Could not recommend this trip more, particularly for people who enjoy a good variety of activities. It’s the perfect combination of hiking and experiencing the culture of the Inca-period and Machu Picchu, but it is also great fun and you get a great adrenaline rush from the cycling, zip-lining and white water rafting. The value for money is also phenomenal given everything that is included. The best part about the tour was our guide, Wilbert. He was so knowledgeable about everything we saw over the four days and took us to meet some local families in the mountains and at various points throughout the trip. He was an excellent photographer,…”

“I could not ask for a better experience. The agents are quick to respond prior to your trip and they arrange all entry tickets and rides for you. Stif, our guide, was always so happy to help and explain things about Peru and its culture to our group. The array of fun activities kept a smile on my face the whole time, and having a smaller group helped us all to connect quickly and receive a great experience. This is well worth every dollar spent, especially to be so immersed in the land, working your way to Machu Picchu. It was a level of satisfaction to be accomplishing so much…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7 reviews · 4 days · from $439

You’ll bike down from 4,350-meter Abra Malaga, hike through coffee and cacao country, try rafting or zip-lining, soak at Cocalmayo, and reach Machu Picchu with a bilingual guide. Small groups of up to 10, basic hostels, and several transport choices make this a full but flexible adventure.

“Our guide Andy was fun and kept us going during what was quite a tough trek (particularly the second day). The views from the Inca trail were unbelievable - so was worth it! The activities - particularly rafting/cycling and hot springs were brilliant! Accommodation basic but friendly. Would recommend taking as small a bag as possible. Ending the trip at Machu Picchu town was amazing. Had to get the tickets to visit Machu Picchu the day before, so timing of entry and slots available unknown until then. Machu Picchu itself was stunning, lots of excellent information from our guide. The train ride back was scenic and yet another highlight!”
