“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

From Cusco, ride mountain bikes down from Abra Málaga, hike through high forest and Inca roads, and reach Machu Picchu on foot. The small-group tour includes a bilingual guide, basic lodging and meals. Rafting, ziplining and the bus up to the ruins cost extra, so check the activity fees before you book.

“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…”

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…”
