If you’re looking for a unique way to reach Machu Picchu—one that blends adventure, ancestral culture, and spiritual well-being—the Inka Jungle Trek Extended is your ideal option. This journey is far more than just a hike; it’s a multisensory experience that merges adventure sports, cultural immersion, Andean ceremonies, and a deep connection with the Amazonian and spiritual life of the Andes.

Adventure with Soul: Biking, Hiking, and the Mystical Jungle

The Inka Jungle Trek is not just a physical trail—it’s also an inner journey. Over 4 or 5 days, travelers cross dreamlike landscapes by mountain bike and on foot, traversing the high jungle of Cusco, remote villages, and ancient paths once walked by the Incas.

Along the way, you’ll visit organic coffee plantations, where you can take part in the entire process—from harvesting to traditional roasting—culminating in a tasting that awakens all your senses.

 Ancestral Ceremonies: Offerings to Pachamama and Flowering Baths

One of the most powerful parts of the journey is direct contact with the Andean worldview. Participants can join in mystical ceremonies, such as the Pago a la Pachamama, a traditional offering ritual to Mother Earth led by a local shaman.

You’ll also experience flowering baths using medicinal herbs and take part in spiritual cleansings designed to renew your spirit, balance your emotions, and open new paths. These ancestral practices are still alive and an integral part of daily life in local communities.

 Temazcal in the Jungle: Physical and Spiritual Purification

A hidden gem along the route is the Temazcal Ocobamba Jungle, an indigenous sweat lodge that uses herbal steam, ceremonial chants, and heated volcanic stones to detoxify the body and rejuvenate the soul.

This steam bath, known for its benefits to the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems, is one of the most purifying experiences of the Inka Jungle Trek.

The Coffee Route: Authentic Cultural Experience

The district of Santa Teresa, the gateway to the Inka Jungle, is home to organic coffee farms that invite travelers to experience the full journey of coffee—from the tree to the cup.

Communities like Lucmabamba, Quellomayo, and Huadquina open their doors to share traditional techniques and heartfelt hospitality. Here, you’ll not only taste coffee—you’ll be a part of its creation, in a deeply land-connected experience.

 Santa Teresa: Nature, Culture, and Extreme Adventure

With a warm climate and lush vegetation, Santa Teresa is a hidden paradise just a few kilometers from Machu Picchu. From here, you can access the Cocalmayo hot springs, the breathtaking landscapes of Salkantay Mountain, and the Llactapata archaeological site, offering unique views of the Inca citadel.
