Jhon🦙
Jhon, Jhon, Jhon. How do we begin! What’s the name of the world’s best guide? You guessed it - JHON! When going on a tour one if not the most important factors for a great experience is the guide. Your guide is responsible for both your safety and comfort as well as being engaging and very knowledgable. Jhon in question didn’t just deliver all of these points he exceeded them to a level further than the Inca Empire used to stretch! Jhon made an already exciting experience to something out of this world, and we have nothing but praise for Encuentros Peru Adventures. Encuentros Peru Adventures manages to deliver the entire package in a fantastic manner. We even got to meet their fantastic owner, Jose. This isn’t just a tour - it’s an unforgettable way to arrive to Machu Picchu. Unlike most tourist who just takes a daytrip or two to Machu Picchu, you’ll get an incredible adrenaline rush while river rafting, ziplining, and mountain biking downhill for two hours. You’ll also walk along original Inca military trails, immersing yourself in nature and experiencing the jungle up close.. We can’t help but whole-heartedly recommend this tour, as it’ll forever be one of our top highlights of our trip to Peru. Thank you very much Encuentros Peru Adventures, and a special thank you to our karaoke partner, JHON!

Jose will be one of your favorite people you’ve ever met!
I’ve been blessed to travel all over the world, and I think this is my favorite trip I’ve ever been on. Jose makes everything stop special. His kindness, humor, and generosity make you feel truly special and makes me suggest this tour to every friend I have looking to scratch an itch to travel. Long live the Sexy Llamas! Thanks Jose for everything!

10/10 Jungle Trek
This was one of the most surreal experiences I have had. Jose and Gonzales were amazing guides and made us so comfortable. Jose was so knowledgeable about the tour and taught us so much about the Incas. Definitely recommend this tour!!

Best tour ever!
Jose and Gonzales were the best guides we've ever had on a tour. Perfectly informational and fun. The tour was fantastic and we were able to see everything we hoped for and more. The guides really cared about our safety and making sure we understood everything. Definitely recommend going with these guys, nicest people ever!

Amazing and challenging adventure
Outstanding! Marco, our tour guide, was the absolute best! His knowledge of Inca culture & history is unmatched. Mostly, he was incredibly helpful & kind. I am 63 and did this tour with my daughter & her boyfriend who are both 30. Many of the adventures were hard for me and out of my comfort zone, but Marco was always there to literally hold my hand and/or my backpack. I cannot recommend him enough. Also, Jose Louis was very helpful & flexible with our plans & getting tickets to Machu Picchu at the last minute. It was a great adventure and I really appreciated both of them. Also, the food at every stop was delicious. My favorite experiences, along with visiting Machu Picchu, were the Whitewater rafting and relaxing in the Cocalmayo Hot Springs after a challenging day of hiking. The one thing I didn’t love was the hostile we stayed at on the second night because they did not provide towels, soap or toilet paper for the room. Other than that, it was a fabulous trip!

Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How does Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu compare to similar tours in Cusco?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 89. At $429 it sits above the typical similar option ($43), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 96-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $429, above the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.
How much does Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu cost?
+
Prices start at $429 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 150 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu?
+
Around 53 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek (Meals Included). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Inca Jungle Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu?
+

Not included: Personal expenses; Optional tips for driver and guide; Entrance tickets of hot springs in Cocalmayo; and Optional Activities: Rafting and zipline.

+
