About this trip
Seven days built around Peru's big physical challenges: mountain biking, ziplining, high-altitude trekking, and an early start at Machu Picchu. This is a trip for people who want to move, not just look.
You bike along river valleys, zipline through the jungle near Santa Teresa, and take on Rainbow Mountain's thin air and steep paths before Machu Picchu itself. Hot springs along the way give your legs a break between the bigger days.
It is guided throughout, with a private room each night rather than shared dorms, so you get your own space to recover after full-on days.
What you'll do
- Mountain bike along river routes toward the jungle
- Zipline through the forest canopy near Santa Teresa
- Soak in hot springs between activity days
- Trek up to Rainbow Mountain
- Reach Machu Picchu in the early morning light
- A physically demanding trip — expect consecutive days of biking, hiking, and altitude
- Rainbow Mountain sits at serious altitude, so fitness and acclimatisation matter
- You get a private room each night rather than a shared dorm
Worth it if you want guided hiking without logistics stress and a tight group vibe. Think twice if you prefer independence or slower paces.
- Dual guides mean non-Spanish speakers navigate confidently; you absorb far more than solo travel permits.
- Transport sorted entirely; focus stays on trekking, food, and people rather than bus schedules and route-planning.
- Guide quality genuinely high: Joseph and Will entertained throughout; Raul actively supported slower hikers with infectious energy.
- A week packs substantial activity; early starts and long days suit fit, motivated groups; fatigue may strain less experienced hikers.
