The Inca Jungle trek to Machu Picchu is by far the most adventurous trekking option in the Cusco region. It is also the most varied in terms of activities.

The ‘trek’ includes a massive downhill mountain biking experience, followed by possible river rafting on Grade III and IV rapids, jungle trekking, and optional zip-lining. It culminates with a visit to Machu Picchu.

The trek naturally appears to adventurous types who like thrilling adrenaline-filled experiences.

This journey to the Manu National Reserve or Tambopata with Peru Jungle Trips commences in Cusco, the Inca capital, passing through agricultural fields where local farmers continue to cultivate and plow using traditional hand tools.

Our route leads us to the cultural hub of Paucartambo, and as we ascend further into the mountains, we eventually reach Acjanaco.

The descent begins, and the scenery undergoes a swift transformation, signaling our entry into the cloud forest of Manu. Here, the mountain streams support a diverse array of plants and flowers. Upon arrival, we are warmly greeted by the local host, particularly the majestic “Imperial Quetzal.” Although the dominant figure in this cloud forest is the Cock of the Rock, Peru’s national bird, whose captivating mating dance we can witness from the LEK viewing platform.

For many visitors to Peru and even South America, a visit to the Inca city of Machu Picchu is the long-anticipated highpoint of their trip. In a spectacular location, it’s the best-known archaeological site on the continent. This awe-inspiring ancient city was never revealed to the conquering Spaniards and was virtually forgotten until the early part of the 20th century.

Choquequirao, meaning “Cradle of Gold”, is an impressive archaeological complex located in the Vilcabamba mountain range in the Cusco region. This area is believed to have been the last refuge of the Incas during the resistance led by Manco Inca II.

Likely built by Túpac Yupanqui, Choquequirao is renowned for its terraces adorned with llamas and a shepherd in the Llamachayoc sector. These terraces are notable for the use of vertically placed stones. Additionally, in the Pacchayoq sector, you can observe an advanced water channel system irrigating a complex of agricultural terraces. The steep inclination of the slopes where these terraces are located is truly remarkable.

During the trek, you will enjoy spectacular geography as well as the native flora and fauna of the region, which includes inter-Andean valleys and tropical jungle. Temperatures can range from a minimum of 5ºC (41ºF) at night to a maximum of 23ºC (73ºF) during the day.

It is recommended to follow ecotourism principles, respecting and protecting the environment, archaeological sites, and local customs.
