4-day Inca Jungle adventure from Cusco with biking, rafting, zipline, hot springs, and early Machu Picchu entry, ending by train.

“I went on three guided trips while on vacation in Peru and this was the BEST one. First, Saul was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgable about the animal and plant life. He was also very personable and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, safe and accommodating. Day 1: You will be picked up in a very comfortable touring van and be taken through Sacred Valley. Once at the top of the mountain range you will be given all safety equipment and a mountain bike where you will make your way down. From there the van will pick you back up and transport you to…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 133 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $510

A small-group 4-day combo to Machu Picchu with biking, rafting, ziplining, hot springs, and a guided citadel tour from Cusco.

“What an adventure for our family of 4 (kids were 17 and 20)!!! We did so many cool things, it truly was a trip of a lifetime! Besides biking, rafting and zip lining, we swam in natural hot springs, trekked through beautiful scenery, including along the Machu Picchu railroad tracks, and Urubamba River, ate delicious food, and even got to taste fermented snake alcohol at one of our stops (among so many other things)! Our guide, Eduardo, was friendly and knowledgeable and always made us feel safe. We would highly recommend requesting him as your guide! The only rough part was a couple of the hostels, (one which didn't include…”

4.Rafting & Zip line Urubamba River 1 Day

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 75 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $79Best value

One day from Cusco to the Urubamba River for guided rafting, a zip line, lunch at Cusipata Lodge, and a sauna with hot showers.

“Amerigo of the Mayuc rafting company was our guide for our daylong zip line and rafting experience. He met us at our hotel and walked us to where the van was parked. Cesar drove us to the lodge, which was about 2 hours away, on the other side of Urcos. We ziplined first, across the river and back. Each trip was quick but enjoyable. We did it first because it was the rainy season, and when it rains in the Cusco area, one event comes through in the early afternoon. By the way, the rainy season should not be ignored in the area near Cusco, for rafting or any other…”

5.4-Day Inca Jungle Adventure, Mountain Biking, Rafting and Zipline

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 60 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $378

4 days from Cusco through the Inca Jungle with biking, rafting, zipline, coffee hikes, and early Machu Picchu with small-group care.

“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”
