Inca Jungle Trail | Mountain Biking, Rafting & Zip-Lining | Cusco, Peru | Machu Picchu Reservations

It's Ged and Kelsie 🙋🏽‍♀️ we are two Aussies making our way through South America.
Cusco - Boom Baby! A city sitting at a crazy altitude of just under 3500m was our next stop on our once in a lifetime adventure. We woke up to a clear and chilly morning and were excited to plan our route to the historic site of Machu Picchu - a place that has every instagrammer hunting for the perfect photo. Before we could have our chance, we had to get there and although hiking is the traditional method - it also requires a bit of forward planning (not our forte). The best option for us it seemed, was an adventure tour which combines blood pumping activities with comfortable accommodation (no tents - thanks) and much less hiking.
First activity, mountain biking down from Abra Malaga (4,300m) to the viewpoint at Carrizales and then on to Huamanamarca (1,890m). Our tour van was suppose to drop us a little higher but the visibility was super poor and the roads far too wet and dangerous. One of us even managed to have a small tumble (it wasn’t who you think). Once at the bottom it was straight into the rapids for some white water rafting, bridge diving/jumping and some boat flipping for good measure.
A good night’s sleep had us refreshed for a compact day of zip-lining. Flying over the canyons and crossing what is only loosely seen as a bridge was so freaking cool! An epic way to end the first half of our Jungle Adventure.
Make sure to come back next week, where we finally arrive at Machu Picchu.
