Insider tips

  • ★Book well in advance during May–September dry season; guides can adjust activity intensity based on fitness levels
  • ★Acclimatize in Cusco for 1–2 days before the trek—this itinerary gains and loses elevation rapidly, raising altitude sickness risk
  • ★Bring layers for dramatic temperature swings: cool mornings at high altitude, humid heat in jungle sections
  • ★The biking section on Day 1 can be challenging even for experienced cyclists due to terrain; communicate fitness level when booking

Good to know

  • •Pack: waterproof bag for rafting, sturdy trail shoes (grip essential for wet rock sections), sun protection, insect repellent for jungle zones, and high-calorie snacks
  • •Groups kept intentionally small to minimize environmental impact and maximize personalized attention
  • •All adventure equipment (rafting gear, zipline harnesses, bike helmets) provided; confirm your helmet and harness fit on Day 1
  • •Moderate-to-high fitness required; activities span 5–7 hours daily across varied terrain
  • •Machu Picchu entrance ticket (approximately 80 USD) typically not included; confirm with operator
