The Inka Jungle Tour 3d/2n with biking descent and trekking through the jungle is NOT a simple alternative to the classic Inka trail. It is a more original combination of adventure and adrenaline that takes you to along part of the jungle and ends up on Machu Picchu. We will trek through recently discovered trails, even on the second day we will be trekking on an original Inka trail. This tour is recommended for people of all ages with an affinity to adventure, curiocity, and some extra energy!!!
Goups: 2 people minimum to a maximum of 15 people.
The ascent to La Puerta del Sol is always available and accesible. It is a pleasant place with a nice view of Machu Picchu, you can take this walk on you free time.
If you prefer to climb up Huayna Picchu you will have an spectacular view, but this should be reserved a long time in advance and the cost of it is 25 US$ per person.
Is an hour and a half climb up of moderated difficulty.
Another option is Machu Picchu Montania, an hour and a half very steep, very physically demanding ascending and the cost of it is 15 US$ per person. This is probably the most spectacular view, but the three options are very enjoyable and will allow you to take good photos.
