Inka Jungle Backpacker

After beginning the day with a warm breakfast, we continue on our journey along an ancient Inca road to the village of Kellomayo. On this trek we cross diverse landscapes and climates, witnessing picturesque vistas of plantations of coffee, cocoa, coca, corn, and fruits.

After lunch, we continue trekking crossing one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world and eventually arriving at the thermal pools of Santa Teresa (Cocalmayo). Here we have the opportunity enjoy the restorative hot springs before undertaking one more short trek (approximately 30 minutes) to the town of Santa Teresa where we will spend our second night.

Here oftentimes groups will unwind together while enjoying a well deserved ‘pisco sour’ in one of the small but cozy pubs of Santa Teresa.

After a delicious breakfast, we embark on an exciting hike to “Hidroeléctrica”, where we’ll enjoy a comforting lunch before continuing our journey for another 3 hours until we reach Aguas Calientes. Tonight, a more comfortable accommodation awaits us in a hotel.

Optional: If you’ve booked the zipline activity, we’ll head to the starting point for this thrilling adventure. This activity offers the opportunity to enjoy 4 cables of 3 km each and a Tibetan bridge approximately 80 m long.

The group will depart early for Machu Picchu, ascending along a trail through the lush high forest, offering the possibility of witnessing an unforgettable sunrise.

Our guide will lead us through the Machu Picchu sanctuary for approximately 2 hours. Afterwards, you’ll have free time to explore Machu Picchu at your own pace. At the end of your visit, you’ll return to Cusco by train and bus.
