The Inca Jungle trail is the active, warm-weather way to Machu Picchu. You ride a mountain bike downhill from a high pass, walk two days through the subtropical valleys on the Amazon side of the Andes, soak in hot springs, and reach the citadel on day 4. It suits travelers in their twenties to fifties who want variety more than one big hiking challenge. If you want a real mountain trek with a high pass on foot, take the Salkantay trek 5 days.
The only high point, Abra Málaga at about 14,160 ft (4,316 m), is where the bike ride starts, and you go down from there. After day 1 you never sleep higher than about 6,560 ft (2,000 m), lower than Machu Picchu. Nights are mild. The hiking days are 5 to 6 hours on day 2 and 3 to 4 hours on day 3, on dirt paths and along the railway.
The bike descent runs on a paved mountain highway shared with trucks and buses. Our guide sets the pace, and if you are not comfortable on a bike you ride that stretch in the vehicle instead. The valleys are humid, with sand flies, so bring strong repellent. And you see less Inca stonework on the way than on the Inca Trail: the payoff here is the change of scenery, from frost at the pass to banana and coffee farms by lunch.
One service level, priced per person on shared service: Full trekking service from US$607. It covers the bike, the guide, three nights, most meals, the Machu Picchu ticket and the train back. Your Cusco hotel is separate. Single travelers and quotes for your own group go through the free quote form.
Pick the day you leave Cusco. The trip runs all year, with no trail permit, as long as Machu Picchu tickets are left for day 4.
Send the free quote form with your date and every traveler's passport data exactly as printed. For June to August, ask six to eight weeks ahead. We confirm the ticket, train and hotel before you pay.
Open a day to see the hours, the altitude and where you sleep. Times are the ones our guides actually keep.
Night in the Santa María area, high point about 14,160 ft (4,316 m) at the start of the ride
Pickup between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. The road crosses the Sacred Valley and climbs past Ollantaytambo to the Abra Málaga pass.
At the pass your guide hands out bikes and protective gear and checks brakes with each rider. It is cold and windy up there, so ride the first part in gloves and a jacket.
About 55 km (34 miles) downhill on asphalt, past waterfalls and small villages, as the air turns warm and wet. Stay in line behind the guide and keep right on the curves.
A zipline over the canyon is offered on the way. Then you continue to the Santa María area for dinner and the night.
Night in Santa Teresa, high point about 6,560 ft (2,000 m)
The trail climbs and drops along the valley wall through cloud forest and farms. Your guide stops for orchids, butterflies and coffee and cacao plants. Some stretches follow old paths with stone paving.
A long lunch stop in the shade. Drink more than you think, the humidity hides how much you sweat.
Pools fed by hot springs on the bank of the river near Santa Teresa. Bring a swimsuit and sandals. Sand flies bite at dusk, so cover up when you get out.
Dinner and the night in Santa Teresa, a small town in the valley.
Hotel night in Aguas Calientes, 6,690 ft (2,040 m)
From Santa Teresa to the hydroelectric station on the Urubamba River, where the railway ends for walkers.
About 7 miles (11 km) of flat walking beside the tracks and the river, 3 to 4 hours. Trains pass a few times, step well aside. Machu Picchu sits on the ridge above you, out of sight until the end.
Check in, shower and walk the town. Dinner on your own. Get to bed early, the bus line starts before dawn.
Back in Cusco at night (hotel not included), Machu Picchu at 7,970 ft (2,430 m)
About 25 minutes by Consettur bus. Bring your passport, it is checked with your ticket.
Two to three hours on Circuit 2 with the classic view from the upper terraces and the main temples. Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain are extra and must be booked ahead.
Train from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo, about 1 hour 40 minutes, then about two hours by road to Cusco.
The route drops from the Abra Málaga pass into the Santa María and Santa Teresa valleys, then follows the railway to Aguas Calientes below Machu Picchu.

"Incredible experience!! Beautiful landscape and beautiful people. We were lucky to be guided by Vladimir, who with his lovely personality and amazing knowledge made this trip a great learning experience."
"All the tours I did (Machu, Humantay Lake, Rainbow Mountain, Sacred Valley) were spectacular!!! From picking me up at the hotel (always punctual and attentive, notifying about everything!) to the guides I had who were also excellent."
"I came to this agency by recommendation and, after traveling with them on two occasions, I can say that it was an excellent decision. I must highlight the professionalism of the guides, who made every tour very interesting and safe."
Everything we get asked about this package before people book.
Yes, with care on day 1. You share the asphalt with trucks and buses, so you ride in single file behind the guide, with a helmet and gloves, at a pace you control. If you are not a confident rider, you ride in the vehicle instead. The hiking days carry ordinary trail risk.
No, rafting is not part of this itinerary. The adventure parts are the bike descent and a zipline offered on day 1. If you want rafting added, say so in the quote form and we tell you whether it runs on your date and what it costs.
Moderate, the easiest of our multi-day routes to Machu Picchu. The only high point is the start of the downhill ride at 14,160 ft (4,316 m). Day 2 is the longest walk, and day 3 is a flat railway stroll, all at low altitude.
You need to ride a bike comfortably and use hand brakes. The descent is on asphalt, not technical trail. Beginners who go slowly do fine, and anyone can switch to the support vehicle.
No. It is a separate route through the Santa Teresa valley, with no permit needed. Day 2 uses some old paths with stone paving, but the Classic Inca Trail is a separate, permit-only route from KM 82.
Night 1 in the Santa María area, night 2 in Santa Teresa, and night 3 in a hotel or hostel in Aguas Calientes. All three are low and warm, so a light sleeping bag is enough.
Shorter, longer, or a different route.
Four days down into the Apurímac canyon and up to Choquequirao, a large Inca site with no road to it, then back out the same way. Guide, cook, pack animals and camping included.
Four days through the Lares valley: hot springs, a night with a weaving family, a 15,420 ft pass between glacier lakes, then the train to Aguas Calientes and a guided Machu Picchu visit.
Four days and about 26 miles on the Inca road from KM 82 over Dead Woman's Pass (13,830 ft) to the Sun Gate and Machu Picchu. Permit, guide, cook, porters and camping included.
