What’s Included in the Inca Jungle Trail 3 days to Machu Picchu
Below, we detail everything included in the Inca Jungle Trail 3 days package to Machu Picchu, so you have complete clarity on the services covered by the price you paid for the tour. Here is a detailed overview of everything that’s included in your Inca Jungle Trail 3 days experience with Machu Picchu Team:
Pre-Trip Briefing
Your package includes a pre-trip briefing one day before the start of the tour, at 6:00 pm, at the Machu Picchu Team office, located one block from the Plaza de Armas. This briefing is led by the guide who will accompany you throughout the 3 day tour, and is meant to finalize details and make sure you’re well prepared for the adventure. It’s also the perfect opportunity to ask any questions directly to your guide. If you haven’t yet paid the full balance of your tour, you can also complete your payment at this time. If you’re unable to attend the briefing in person, your guide will contact you via the WhatsApp number provided at the time of booking, to share all the necessary information.
Hotel Pickup
The service includes pickup from your hotel in Cusco to begin the tour, between 5:30 and 6:00 am, whether you’re staying at a hotel or an Airbnb in the city. If you’re staying in Ollantaytambo, we can also pick you up from there, around 7:30 am, since the vehicle passes through town on its way.
Drop-off at Machu Picchu Team Office in Cusco
At the end of the tour, the service includes drop-off at the Machu Picchu Team office, located very close to Cusco’s Plaza de Armas. This way, you can pick up any luggage you may have left with us. If you’d prefer to be dropped off in Ollantaytambo instead, this option is also available. This applies whether you return by car or by train — in either case, the tour’s final point will be our office in Cusco (unless you request to be dropped off in Ollantaytambo).
Entrance to the Machu Picchu Citadel
The tour price includes your entrance ticket to Machu Picchu. The entry time and circuit type will be confirmed based on availability at the time of booking; however, this usually corresponds to the 6:00 am entry time and Circuit 2 – Classic Circuit / Route 2-A. Both the entry time and circuit are subject to availability, and both will be confirmed once your reservation is made. Your ticket will then be sent to your email.
Professional English and Spanish-Speaking Guides
Throughout the entire 3-Day Inca Jungle Trail, you’ll be accompanied by a professional adventure guide fluent in both English and Spanish, who will stay with you for the whole journey. In addition, the tour includes specialized guides for rafting and zip-lining, ensuring each activity is carried out safely, as well as a specialist guide for the guided tour of the Machu Picchu citadel.
Guided visit to the Machu Picchu Citadel
Your visit to Machu Picchu includes a 1 to 2-hour guided tour with one of our expert Machu Picchu guides. This guided tour is included regardless of the circuit or entry time assigned to your tour. Even if you purchased your Machu Picchu entrance ticket on your own, the guided tour inside the citadel is included as part of your 3-Day Inca Jungle Trail package.
All Required Transportation for the Tour
All transportation services necessary to complete this tour are included, such as the transfer from Cusco to the tour’s starting point, transportation to accommodation and activity locations, transportation from Hidroeléctrica to Cusco for those choosing the car return, and transportation from Ollantaytambo to Cusco for those choosing the train return. The only service not included is the bus ticket from Machu Picchu Pueblo to the Machu Picchu citadel, as this is an optional service.
One Night´s Accommodation at the Sky Star Domes in Lucmabamba Hotel in Machu Picchu Pueblo (Aguas Calientes)
The package includes one night’s accommodation at the Sky Star Domes in Lucmabamba: crystal domes with 360° panoramic views, perfect for enjoying nature and the scenery as you rest. These domes come equipped with mattresses, pillows, and a sleeping bag, so you can enjoy a truly panoramic night at the Lucmabamba lodge.
Hotel in Machu Picchu Pueblo (Aguas Calientes)
The package includes one night’s accommodation at a basic hotel in Machu Picchu Pueblo. The accommodation includes hot water showers, wifi, towels, and soap — a simple, comfortable hotel to spend the night before visiting Machu Picchu.
Meals
The tour includes all the meals required for the 3-Day Inca Jungle Trail to Machu Picchu, including the very first breakfast. In total, the package includes 3 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 dinners, served at local restaurants and at the Lucmabamba lodge. These meals are specially prepared for this type of adventure, offering high nutritional value and generous portions to keep you well-fueled throughout the journey.
We also offer vegetarian and vegan options as part of the service. If you have any special dietary needs or restrictions, simply let us know in advance so we can coordinate and prepare meals suited to your requirements.
All Activities: Biking, Zipline, and Rafting
Biking, zip-lining, and rafting are all included in the 3-Day Inca Jungle Trail to Machu Picchu. Since these are the most anticipated activities among travelers, we include all of them to make your adventure truly memorable. For the zipline, the service includes all 5 cables plus the Tibetan bridge, with all activities organized and led by specialized professional guides.
Return from Machu Picchu to Cusco Included
The return trip from Machu Picchu to Cusco is included, depending on the return option you chose:
- Train return: includes the train ticket from Machu Picchu Pueblo to Ollantaytambo, departing at either 2:30 pm or 2:55 pm, depending on availability, plus transportation from Ollantaytambo to Cusco.
- Car return: includes transportation from Hidroeléctrica to Cusco, departing at 3:00 pm.
The type of return included will depend on the package selected at the time of booking, whether it’s the 3-Day Inca Jungle Trail with car return or the Inca Jungle Trail 3 days with train return.
First Aid Equipme
Each guide is equipped with a first aid kit and an oxygen tank, to assist you in the event of any emergency. Our guides are also trained in first aid response. Additionally, our vehicles are available, especially during the first day of the tour, to assist you in case of an emergency and transport you to the nearest hospital for professional medical attention.
Free Storage at Our Office in Cusco
At the Machu Picchu Team office in Cusco, located one block from the Plaza de Armas, we have a storage room where tour participants can leave their travel luggage — that is, anything you won’t be bringing along on the tour. You can leave your belongings with complete confidence, and we’ll safely store them for the entire duration of your tour. This service is completely free for anyone taking a tour with us. You can drop off your luggage the day before the tour, or on the same day it begins, since the vehicle transporting you makes a stop at our office for this purpose. Since the tour also ends at the Machu Picchu Team office, you’ll be able to pick up your belongings there without any inconvenience. Our storage room is available from 4:00 am to 10:00 pm, during which you can drop off or pick up your luggage.
