Would do it again and again

The Inca Jungle Trek was an AMAZING experience. We had quite the adventure with all the activities lined up for us while getting to explore Peru in a meaningful way! Edwin was kind and communicative, always available to answer our questions ahead of time and throughout the trip. Our guide Puma (Andy) was funny and knowledgeable, making our experience feel both fun and enriching. I would recommend this trek to anyone and everyone ✨

Amazing!

Amazing experience. Beautiful trek, so fun with the mountainbiking! The hot springs is such a nice experience after a long day of trekking. Our guide Gustavo was just great! - informative and such good company. Best guide we’ve had on our one month travel trough South America. So nice to stay in actual hostels doing the trip, and the food was good too! Would highly recommend!

Great Experience with an Amazing Team

Overall, the tour was well organized and offered a great experience. The guides were friendly, funny, and kept the group well informed throughout the trip. They created a positive atmosphere and made the three days enjoyable for everyone. The biking equipment and bicycles were not in the best condition, which is the main reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5. However, they were still sufficient for the tour and did not prevent us from completing or enjoying the activities. The rafting was a highlight of the trip and was both exciting and well organized. The journey to Machu Picchu was also excellent and everything ran smoothly. The food was very tasty throughout the tour, and the accommodations were comfortable and suitable for the overnight stays. What stood out the most was the team. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. Their enthusiasm and sense of humor made the experience much more enjoyable and helped create great memories. Overall, this tour offers excellent value and a great mix of adventure, culture, and fun. I would definitely recommend it to other travelers looking for an exciting way to visit Machu Picchu.

A Tour to Remember

The tour was very well organized and fun from start to finish. The rafting in particular was an absolute highlight, pure adrenaline! The downhill bike tour was also a great experience, though unfortunately the mountain bikes were not in the best condition, and the safety equipment such as helmets and knee pads could have been better maintained. Given the nature of the activity, that is definitely an area worth improving. The hike to Machu Picchu was simply breathtaking, and the train ride back to Cusco was the perfect way to round off the experience. Our guide was incredibly friendly and funny, greatings to Jhonny. He kept the group together brilliantly and brought great energy throughout. The food was consistently delicious, and while the accommodations were basic, they were perfectly adequate and served their purpose well. All in all, a truly recommendable tour with minor drawbacks when it comes to equipment, but an overwhelmingly positive overall experience!

Great tour but poor organisation

The organisation pre tour could have been better, there was not much contact to the operator once the tour was booked. At the beginning of the tour we learned there are various tour operators grouped together with various options included (or not). This one includes everything, but nothing is organized, i.e. the guide basically had to converse with the agency and figure everything out by himself. But Jose (our guide) did an amazing job in this. The tour is great as it is combining various activities, from biking downhill (and passing some sort of river crossing the street various times (more like just water flowing but yes) for a rough 2 hours, to a hike with a wonderful view as well as well as a session making your own coffee, many amazing things are available. The zip-lining and rafting is also highly recommended as it is a lot of fun. The hot springs don't cost 3 USD, its more like 10 USD, but we stayed there (in 4 different pools and one / two cooling places) for various hours (2.5) before having some entertainment in front of the pool from around 6 pm - it is a lot of people but the pools are large enough. You spend half a day in Aguas Calientes, which can be used for shopping or heading to another hot spring or a water fall - but the water fall costs an entry fee... so well. If you have no ticket in advance there is a very high likleihood you can get one on the morning prior (which may also be the reason why you spend half a day (after buying the ticket) in Aguas Calientes.

Amazing Peru Mach Picchu Adventure

We have just finished a 4 Day Inka Jungle tour (family of four with two grown kids). Let me start by saying that this tour exceeded all of my expectations. Our guide Jhimmy is so knowledgeable and so good at taking care of all of the details that it just made the entire trip feel seamless. He organized the excursions, the hotels, the transportation, the meals and completely eliminated all the stress that normally comes with a complex trip like this. During the trip we biked 30 miles down a mountain, rafted down a class 2 River, ziplined across the gorge, soaked in the hot springs, and of course hiked up to Machu Picchu and through the entire site. Jhimmy was with us the whole way taking care of everything, answering our questions, pointing out plants and animals, and explaining the history and culture of the places we visited. He was absolutely amazing! One of the places we stayed was kind of like a jungle Lodge with little cabins in the woods. The proprietor is a coffee roaster and gave us a wonderful demonstration of the coffee picking and roasting experience. We roasted some fresh coffee beans in a cast iron pot over an open fire. And then he brewed us some amazing coffee. The place is rustic but amazing. If you love hiking and outdoor adventure you should seriously consider this excursion.

Great value, Pure Adrenaline, Beautiful views.

Everything about the experience was spectacular. All of the adrenaline activities were very well organized with an emphasis on safety and fun. They also provide all the needed accessories (helmets, biking safety, water shoes, even a towel). Our guide Jhimmy was incredibly knowledgeable about quechua culture and the history of all the places that we visited. He knew all the answers, and all the bestvtrails. He had great stories and recommendations, and was so patient with any issues that arose. The bike ride through the Andes was one of our favorite rides ever in terms of scenery and fun, and we bike all the time. The hike up to Machu Picchu was exhausting but well worth it. There are plenty of stops where you can get a quick snack or bottle of water. It is gorgeous. Jihmy took care of all the details, down to the scenic train back up to Cusco All of the accommodations were really nice and centric. The attention to detail, taste, and presentation for the meals was great. We made lifelong memories .
