Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu: 4 Days by Bike and Foot
From €421 per person
See availability →The 4-day Inca Jungle trek to Machu Picchu from Cusco combines a downhill bike ride, hiking, optional hot springs and a guided visit of the citadel, with three nights of lodging and three breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
The Inca Jungle trek to Machu Picchu is a route that changes pace every day: pedals, trails, a railway track and a final climb to the ruins. Over four days you cycle, walk and ride a train, passing from high mountain terrain to cloud forest and the green valleys near the citadel.
On day one you leave from Cusco's main square, drive through Chinchero, Urubamba and Ollantaytambo and start at the Abra Malaga pass. With the bike gear supplied you coast downhill for about 3 hours and 50 km. The night is in an eco house in Pispitayoc. Day two follows a stretch of the Qhapaq Ñan, with coffee roasting at breakfast and the optional Cocalmayo thermal baths before Santa Teresa. Day three goes by Hidroeléctrica and along the railway to Aguas Calientes.
On the last day you climb up to Machu Picchu and spend two hours with the guide in the citadel, followed by free time. A train takes you to Ollantaytambo and a bus returns you to Cusco.
