Tengo muy lindos recuerdos de mi viaje con Inka Joungle Tour. Fue una aventura asombrosa, nuestro guía sumamente conocedor, profesional y a la vez cercano. Conocimos muchos lugares y gente linda. Todo anduvo siempre bien, las comidas y acomodaciones, todo smooth. Creo que vale la pena pagar un poco más por este servicio y asegurar calidad y profesionalismo. Recomendado al 100! Espero visitarlos pronto.

The Inka Jungle Tour was certainly an unforgettable experience! From descending down the mountain pass to rafting and ziplining, I’m not really sure what I enjoyed more! All in all, the guide was especially knowledgeable and pretty much everything went smoothly along the trip. Can’t recommend enough to anyone who wants to get a more authentic tour experience in Peru!

En Aguas calientes nos dieron un restaurante de lujo. Experiencia en sauna natural y al salir del rafting nos esperaron con toallas y traslado!. Sin duda repetiria

The Salkantay trek was an unforgettable experience! The journey through the Salkantay pass and the breathtaking landscapes of the andes was truly awe-inspiring. The guides were knowledgeable and supportive, ensuring everyone's safety and comfort throughout the trek. The accommodations and meals provided were excellent, especially considering the remote locations we stayed in. One suggestion for improvement would be to offer more frequent breaks during the trek for those who may need extra rest. Overall, it was an incredible adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a challenging and rewarding trekking experience in Peruuu!

Had an amazing experience on the Salkantay Trek with InkaJungleTour! The views were stunning, and the guides were fantastic. The trek was challenging but so rewarding, especially when we finally reached Machu Pichu. I was happy with the several options during meals.

Doing a project for tourist places. This looks like an amazing place. Would definitely go. Great reviews, great locations, great tour guides (or so I've heard)

I did two tours - the first was 2 days to Machu Pichuu. We biked downhill along a road in the mountains, scenery was beautiful. Then we went to a small coffee farm, this was really cool, we got shown the whole process of making coffee right there and got to sample the coffee, and we had a tour of the property which included lots of different fruit trees - I found this whole part really interesting. We went hot pools, for a nice little chill out time, picturesque here, then took the car to the point where the train goes up to Aguas Calientes and we walked along the train tracks to the town. Another very picturesque walk, nice to take it slow up here (by walking instead of train) and take in all the scenery. Stayed the night in Aguas Calientes. Really recommend going up Machu Picchu mountain, which is what they suggested, I found it quite tough, but totally worth it, and even if it's cloudy still do, it's very atmospheric and there will be periods where you can see Machu Picchu, especially heading back down when it's clearing more. We had most of the day to spend at Machu Picchu and got the train back from Aguas Clientes that evening. I thought this was a really nice varied tour, we got a lot into the 2 days but it didn’t feel overly exhausting. I also appreciated how we had the whole day at Machu Picchu as I think depending on the tour/company sometimes you only have a few hours or the morning which I think would feel rushed and you definitely want the time to appreciate the whole place. I definitely feel the tour operators care a lot about customising tours to best suit who’s on them, and really want the people to have a really good time. I also appreciated that they noticed I was a little nervous about the biking so gave me some extra guidance. The second tour I went on was a day trip, in the morning we went to a rainbow mountain, but not the main tourist one, another one, we were the only people there for most of the time we spent there, with one other group arriving as we were leaving. Very beautiful landscapes and varied - with rock formations and the rainbow streaked mountains, plus the drive there and back passes little houses and farms, llamas and sheep. We stopped for lunch, which was really delicious, then we drove to Q’eswachaka - the last Inca bridge. This is really cool, very impressive, the history is really interesting, I recommend doing some extra reading about it before visiting so you appreciate it fully. A lot more driving on this tour, although you walk around both the sites, it takes a little while in the car to get to and from them. But it was fine with me because I was pretty tired from Machu Picchu. They’re both really cool sites to see, if you’re interested in seeing them both this is a good option for a day trip.

Los primeros días pura adrenalina y el ultimo día Machu Picchu. Las ruinas y la historia hace de este lugar un espacio mágico y en serio que vale la pena llegar haciendo el INKAJUNGLETOUR. Una experiencia inigualable!

We booked the 4/3 days Inka Jungle Tour and couldn't have been happier. Everything was very well organized and executed. Our guide Tony was fantastic, he went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and share his passion for his culture and Peruvian history with us. The meals were all amazing and the accommodations were nice. This tour is slightly more expensive than some of the other tours we came across but it is well worth it. Highly recommended!

I took the tour with my friend and as we heard so many disastrous story from travelling agencies in Peru we were rather very reserve to this on as well. It was quite a surprise for us to find out that Inkana Jungle Tour operates with 100% professional equipment and well-trained guides. I can recommend Oscar, as he not only provided us with inside information about peruvian culture but was also great company on our 4-day trip. I would recommend the mountain biking tour for people who really like adventures and are not afraid of getting wet or dirty - it can be quite demanding sometimes :)

I had a lot of experience with taking tours around Peru and Bolivia and I need to admit the service of Inkana Jungle Tour was so far the most reliable one. During my tour I was equipped with truly professional equipment and got clear instructions on how to use it. The guides are professional as well and ful of joy. Actually that is what I liked the most, very relaxed atmosphere and lot of fun. Recommend

The Salkantay 4 Day Tour is an express version of the 5 day Trek, for those with a shorter travel timeframe. Salkantay is a popular alternative to the Ina Trail as it does not require booking months in advance and offers breathtaking vistas as you traverse diverse landscapes and climates.
Listed by National Geographic as one of the top 25 treks in the world, our tour has travelers enjoying stunning views of the snowy Salkantay, visiting lagoons including Humantay and Salkantay Lake, reaching the highest point of the trek at (4,600 m) above sea level and finishing at the lost city of the Incas, with sunrise views and a guided tour of Machu Picchu.
This is a preferred option for those wishing to take a less populated route to Machu Picchu. Generally, trekkers experience a sunny climate during the day but cold temperatures at night (0 ° C June to September). During the rainy season, December to March, we recommend only expert trekkers undertake this route.
Participants are collected from their respective accommodation at 4:30 am and take private transport to Mollepata where we will have an hour to enjoy breakfast and explore the town. We will then continue by car for approximately 45 minutes to Challacancha and the beginning of the trail. On our way to our first camp site, we will be able to appreciate impressive viewpoints of Umantay mountain and the water aqueduct that supplies water to Mollepata town. Upon arrival at Soraypampa, we will have lunch and set up camp. After lunch, we will complete the 1-hour trek to Humantay Lake, situated at the base of Humantay mountain. Here we have the opportunity relax, explore and enjoy the views before returning to the campsite for dinner.
Distance walking: 7.5 miles (12 km)
Walking time: 6-7 hours
Maximum height: 13780 ft (4200 m) asl
Difficulty: Difficult / Moderate
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks
Accommodation: Camping
The second day of the Salkantay Trek is often considered the hardest because we reach the highest point of the trek 15190 ft (4630 m) asl and cover a distance of 13.7 miles (22km). However, it also offers some of the most beautiful views as we cross several landscapes – rocky mountains, grassy hills, glaciers, lagoons and waterfalls and conclude our trek in the high jungle.
Due to the distance we need to cover today, we begin early – waking up at 5:00 am to hot coca tea and breakfast, and of course impressive dawn views of snowy Salkantay.
After a 4 hour hike, we’ll reach the highest point of the whole trek, take in the vistas and have the opportunity to make an offering to the Apus (Andean mountain gods). From here we begin our decent to 9515 ft (2900 m). After a lunch break at the 2-hour mark, we’ll continue 3 hours to our camp for the second night, at Chaullay, where we’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a well deserved cold beer while our cooks prepare a delicious dinner.
The 3rd day will see us trekking through the high jungle of Santa Teresa, near the Salkantay river that runs through the centre of the valley. Beginning the day at 6:00 am, we’ll have breakfast before commencing the trek at the town of Sayhuaco. Due to the warmer, more tropical climate we will be hiking through dense vegetation, past plantations of coca, coffee, avocado, passion fruit and bananas, and view colourful flora (orchids) and birds. If we’re lucky we’ll spot the national bird of Peru – The Rooster of The Rocks, or Tunki in Quechua.
After 5 hours we’ll arrive at our lunch point, after which local transport will take us to Hidroelectrica (1.5 hrs). At this point, you’ll have the option of a 3-hour flat trail walk to Aguas Calientes or to take the train for an additional cost of $28 USD. Once in the town of Aguas Calientes we’ll enjoy dinner at a local restaurant and coordinate our visit with our guide to the archaeological complex the following day. The last night of the tour will be spent in a comfortable hostel at the foot of the great Machu Picchu.
Distance walking: 15.5 miles (25 km)

Minimum height: 5250 ft (1600 m) asl
Maximum height: 9515 ft (2900 m) asl
Difficulty: Easy

At 4 in the morning, we will begin our climb to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in order to witness the sunrise at the summit. If walking, you will begin the hike at 4.15am to Puente Inca, before ascending the stairs for approximately 1 hour in order to arrive at the main entrance of Machu Picchu. Alternatively, for an extra fee, you can opt to take the bus – you will need to wait in line for a bus ticket that morning and the drive up will take approximately 25m. Both options should see you arriving at the archaeological complex in time for the sunrise.
We will have a 2.5-hour tour from our guide, allowing you to discover the mysteries and secrets of the ancient Inca citadel. After which we will be free to explore the site independently, if you wish you can go up to the Sun Gate or Inca Bridge. Those travellers who previously booked tickets to Huayna Picchu or Montaña Vieja will be able to access these attractions. These sites are where some of the most iconic images of Machu Picchu are taken and where we will be able to take our own photographs and view the ruins from an aerial perspective.
That afternoon we will descend to the village of Aguas Calientes where we have the opportunity to rest and pick up any crafts and souvenirs before our return train at 6.30pm to Ollantaytambo. From Ollantaytambo, transport will be arranged to return travellers to Cusco – to their respective accommodation or San Francisco Square.
