History:

In 1540, when the city of Cusco, then called "Qosqo" (navel of the world), was occupied by Francisco Pizarro and his army of conquistadors, Manco Inca rose up in rebellion. This rebellion led to a battle lasting more than three months at Sacsayhuaman, where Manco Inca's army was defeated. He then used the Inca Trail to escape the Spanish and seek refuge in the dense jungle. Today, sections of the Inca Trail and archaeological sites can still be seen along some of the trails, which form part of the new Inca Trail leading to one of the wonders of the modern world.

What does the Inca Jungle Trail hide?:

The Inca Jungle is an adventure route that combines mountain biking, hiking, hot springs, zip-lining (optional), and the journey to Machu Picchu. During the trip, you'll discover landscapes ranging from the Andes to the high jungle, as well as coffee plantations, rivers, waterfalls, and local communities that preserve their traditions.

How Much Does an Inca Jungle Tour Cost?:

The price of an Inca Jungle tour varies depending on the service category, accommodations, and package inclusions. Generally, 3 or 4 days tours include transportation, a guide, lodging, meals, and entrance to Machu Picchu. It is recommended to book with authorized agencies to ensure a safe experience.

Is the Inca Jungle Trail Dangerous?:

The Inca Jungle Trek is a safe tour when done with an authorized travel agency and professional guides. The adventure activities include safety equipment, and before each activity, you'll receive the necessary instructions to enjoy the tour with complete peace of mind.

Can You Do an Inca Jungle Tour with Children?:

This is possible as long as the children are in good physical condition and meet the agency's age recommendations. Some activities, such as cycling or zip-lining, may have age or height restrictions. It's an excellent option for families looking for a unique adventure to Machu Picchu.

What’s the Best Tour to Inca Jungle?:
