2.4 days/3 nights: Inka Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 25 reviews · 4 days · from $420

Review of the 4-day Inka Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu, with biking, rafting, hot springs, zip lining, hiking, and practical cost advice.

“Świetny przewodnik. Obszerna wiedza na temat historii, szlaku i panujących na nim niebezpieczeństw (nie pić wody ze strumienia). Elokwentnie wypowiada się w języku angielskim, łatwo złapać dobry kontakt. Mamy podejrzenie że o północy zamienia się w psa ale nie mamy wystarczających dowodów.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24 reviews · 5 days (approx.) · from $299

Review of the 5-day Salkantay Trek to Llactapata and Machu Picchu, with costs, hiking demands, camps, meals, extras, and booking advice.

“What an absolute disaster of a company this is. Ellio is an awesome tour guide but there is no organization whatsoever.Despite saying the Macchu Picchu ticket is included, the company forgot to buy and tickets were sold out. They forced me to skip day 4 and pay MYSELF to get a taxi to Macchu Picchu just for tickets to be sold out on the agreed date.I had to miss out on my $500 flight back and part of the trip because they didn’t care. Owner never responds quick or even said sorry. Avoid this disaster and don’t believe the reviews.”

Review of the Maras salt mines and Sacred Valley hike, with local farms, markets, pottery, private transport, value, tips, and practical details.

“This was my first International Yoga retreat with guided tour and it by far exceeded my expectations. I have returned home feeling rejuvenated! Valentine’s Pachamama Journeys served as our local guide for the full 10 day excursion to the Sacred Valley. Valentine, along with International Yoga, curated a wonderful assortment of activities, ranging from exploring Inca ruins (including Pisac, Ollantaytambo, and Machu Picchu) , hiking, visiting a family farm, meeting locals, learning about ancient traditions and art, and partaking in Andean cuisine. Valentine, his son Kenny, and the whole Pachamama staff were very knowledgeable, patient, and excellent care takers. I always felt safe and welcome...”
