About this experience

The trail belongs to the Alternative Treks to Machu Picchu and it combines trekking with mountain biking, an opportunity to enjoy rafting and ZIP line too. In addition a part of the trail leads through the latest discovered Inca path called Qapaq Ñan. You can admire beautiful mountains on the way as well as subtropical areas of a cloud forest.

3 days trek to Machu Picchu
We did the 3 days trek to Machu Picchu with Tierras Vivas and Nico as a guide. Nico and a representative of Tierras Vivas met us at our hostel in Cusco the day before our departure to give us all the information.To be honest, our experience was beyond imagination! 3 days instead of 4 is challenging be feasible, you just need to be quite sporty and in a good physical condition. Actually I believe that the itemization is better split in 3 than for 4 days. Nico was incredible and very knowledgeable about the Inca culture and the flora of the area. I got sick in the first day and Nico took care of me with local medicine in order to be sure that I was back on my feet for the rest of the trip. In the end I highly recommend Tierras vivas for your treks around Cusco.

Inka-Trail Speed-Version!
Since we didn’t have a lot of time and are quite fit hikers, we let Tierras Vivas organize the 3day/2night Inka Trail „Challenge“ they offer on their website for us - so the classic Inca trail, but more kam in a day and one night less. We had the best time with our guide Nico, who was superfit too, very talkative and wouldn’t leave our side explaining about all the plants, animals and ruins/history. His English was very good and he was super helpful even after the Trek when we stayed in Aguas Calientes! Would highly recommend to book with him!

Above and Beyond!
As someone who is well traveled and seeks beyond the typical tourist experience, this one was the best experience I could have asked for. Our guide Alex went above and beyond with everything we did, creating local experiences that allowed us to learn and embrace the beautiful culture during every piece of our journey! Furthermore, Alex was passionate about ensuring his guests made the most of their day, answering each desire from the group and finding a way to make every happy. Every time block was met with constant honest communication and organized in a way that allowed us to have necessary breaks with flexible freedom. Additionally Alex took us to local dining experiences each day where we were welcomed in Peruvian homes with meals created straight from the garden. In Conclusion the mix of biking, rafting, hiking, and authentic local experiences made the trip a unforgettable experience which FAR exceeded expectations.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review about your experience with Tierras Vivas - Sustainable Tourism Operator. We are pleased and happy to know that you enjoyed your hike to Machu Picchu with us. Kind Regards.

Amazing Tour and Tour Guide
Our tour guide Wilbert was absolutely amazing and made this tour 100% better. He knew everything and was able to answer any questions we had. During our mountain hike, we passed by many different plants, some we had never seen before. He knew all their uses, modern and ancient, and their history! He was very accommodating any time we had a problem. During any breaks we had, he would tell us stories about the Inca and about his history. He gave the tour a very personal feel that I know we all appreciated. In the end, all I can say was this was an absolutely amazing tour and Wilbert was an amazing guide!
Response from the operator: Thank you for giving us a review about your experience with our company, we are pleased and happy to know that you enjoyed your tour to Inca Jungle Trek.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu 4 days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu 4 days cost?
+
Prices start at $290 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 to Machu Picchu 4 days 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 to Machu Picchu 4 days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu 4 days?
+
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 to Machu Picchu 4 days suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 96-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu 4 days?
+
Around 2 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 to Machu Picchu 4 days 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), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. 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.
