Inca Jungle Trail Booking Policy and Terms & Conditions

We believe in full transparency. Please read our deposit, payment and cancellation policy before booking your Inca Jungle Trail 3 Days to Machu Picchu, so you can book with complete confidence.

1. Booking Deposit: $180 USD per Person

A deposit of $180 USD per person confirms your booking. We use it right away to secure your spot and buy your Machu Picchu ticket (and train tickets, if applicable). The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable, no matter how far in advance you cancel.

2. Payment of the Remaining Balance

If you only paid the deposit, the balance must be paid at least 48 hours before the tour starts. Otherwise, your booking may be cancelled without refund. You can pay:

  • At our Cusco office, by card or cash (soles or US dollars)
  • Online, through our booking platform

If the balance is not paid on time, our booking platform may charge it to the card or account used for the deposit.

3. Machu Picchu, Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu Mountain Tickets

Machu Picchu tickets are issued by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture and cannot be refunded, transferred or changed (no date or name changes). This is a government rule, not a Machu Picchu Team policy. The same applies to Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu Mountain tickets.

We buy all tickets as soon as your booking is confirmed and email them to you, so once purchased they cannot be refunded. If an optional mountain ticket is not available, we refund its full price. You can add only one mountain per day.

4. Inca Jungle Trail Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be sent in writing to our official email. The following penalties apply:

  • More than 48 hours before departure: you lose the $180 USD deposit per person
  • Less than 48 hours before departure: you lose 100% of the amount paid

If you paid in full, we refund the balance after deducting the deposit, any tickets already purchased (Machu Picchu, Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain), non-refundable extras such as the Vistadome upgrade, and bank fees. If you only paid the deposit, there is no refund.

Tickets already issued in your name can still be used by you on their original date if you decide to visit Machu Picchu on your own.

5. Train Tickets to and from Machu Picchu

Train tickets follow the policies of PeruRail or Inca Rail. They are non-refundable, and date changes depend on availability and may have an extra cost.

6. Traveler Responsibilities

Please give us your personal details exactly as they appear on your passport. Errors may cause denied entry to Machu Picchu, extra costs or loss of services, without refund.

Send your passport copy and, for students, a valid student ID right after booking. Late documents may mean tickets are no longer available, without refund.

7. Itinerary Changes and Force Majeure

Machu Picchu Team may change, suspend or cancel parts of the itinerary for reasons beyond our control, such as severe weather, strikes, road closures, government restrictions or train disruptions. In these cases a refund or compensation is not guaranteed, but we will always do our best to offer a suitable alternative.

8. Risks of Adventure Activities

By booking, you accept that biking, rafting, zipline and hiking at altitude involve risks such as falls, sudden weather changes and limited access to medical care. Always follow your guides’ safety instructions and use the equipment provided. Machu Picchu Team is not liable except in cases of proven negligence or willful misconduct.

9. Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies, evacuation, cancellation, lost luggage and repatriation. It is best to buy it in your home country before traveling.

10. Traveler Conduct

We expect respectful behavior toward other travelers, our staff, and the natural and cultural heritage of the route. We may remove any participant whose behavior puts the group, staff or environment at risk, without refund.

11. Claims and Complaints

Any complaint must be made during the tour or within 3 calendar days after it ends. After that, the service is considered accepted.

12. Applicable Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Peru. Any dispute will first be resolved through conciliation in Cusco. If no agreement is reached, it will go to the competent courts of Cusco, Peru.

Personalize your Inca Jungle Trail 3 Days with these optional extras. Our team coordinates each one with your itinerary. Mountain tickets and the Vistadome upgrade should be requested when you book, as availability is limited.

Huayna Picchu Mountain Ticket · $65 USD
  • Huayna Picchu is the iconic peak behind the citadel, seen in the classic photos of Machu Picchu. It needs a separate ticket, not included in the regular Machu Picchu entrance.

Nous avons passé 5 jours avec Omar pour le Salkantay trek et c’était super ! La qualité des logements, des repas et l’accompagnement lors du trek était parfait ! Petit point négatif sur le dernier hôtel et dernier restaurant à Aguas Calientes très mal notés et certains ont eu des puces de lit, à changer car pas du tout hygiénique.En tout cas merci beaucoup à Omar pour cette aventure, sa gentillesse et sa bonne humeur !

We did the 5 days salkantay trek. Our guide Amoroso was the best. He was really patient with us and made this experience unforgettable!! He explained everything really well and made us feel included even if we were always last. The trek was amazing but be prepared for night one to be really really cold. We can only recommend doing this trek with Machu Picchu Team.

Just finished 4 days with Yuri & Jose, they were both amazing, super helpful and attentive. Thank you to the kitchen staff as well! Definitely a challenge, but in the end it all worth it!

Une superbe expérience ! L’équipe est au top, une superbe ambiance un tracé magnifique avec des paysages très variés. Tout est bien rôdé, transport, repas, couchage. On mange très bien et en quantité ! Par contre prévoyez de quoi manger pendant la randonnée ce n’est pas inclus. Pour moi c’est la meilleure façon pour se rendre au Machu Picchu en passant par le col du Salkantay et en montant le dernier jour par les marches du chemin de l’Inca. Un petit bémol sur la transparence du prix annoncé , ce trip se veut all inclusive, en réalité ce n’est pas le cas. Certains frais imprévus viennent s’ajouter tout au long des 5 jours ( frais supplémentaires pour les activités, taxe pour certains passages de pont ou col, Tips un peu forcé ). Ce ne sont pas des gros frais mais au cumulé ça représente aux alentours de 300 soles. Je trouve personnellement que l’organisme ferai mieux d’intégrer ces frais dans le prix de leur expérience car on a vraiment la sensation d’être mis sur le fait accompli. Prévoyez des gourdes filtrantes car les bouteilles d’eau sur place sont vendus à prix d’or !
