Inca Jungle trek, 4 days 3 nights, Backpacker

Day 1: Hostel pick-up and transfer to the Malaga High Pass (altitude: 4,350 meters) for a safety briefing before our adventurous 3,000 meter descent on mountain bikes into the lush and humid jungle arriving at Santa Maria village (1,500m) for our overnight stay in a hostel.

Day 2: Trek through the jungle mountains to observe beautiful pristine landscapes, abundant flora and fauna and friendly local people. In the afternoon we reach Santa Teresa village (1,680 meters) where we still stay overnight in a hostel.

Day 3: Today we will hike for about 4-6 hours to reach the train tracks and continue to Aguas Calientes town where we will have free time to relax our sore bodies in the hot springs for a well deserved bath.

Day 4: An early start will take us to the world famous Machu Picchu archaeological site where we will discover the site with an English speaking guide and have free time to walk to Inti Punku or climb Wayna Picchu. Return to Aguas Calientes for your afternoon train back to Ollantaytambo, bus to Cuzco and hotel drop off.
