Inca Jungle FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Inca Jungle

Clear facts about difficulty, safety, and activities.

Do I need previous downhill biking or rafting experience?

No previous experience is required! The biking is entirely downhill on a smooth paved road, and our support vehicle follows right behind the group. Rafting includes a comprehensive safety briefing and professional river safety kayakers.

Are the rafting and zip-lining activities mandatory?

No. If you prefer not to participate in rafting or zip-lining, you can relax at the lodge, explore local coffee plantations, or take scenic riverside nature walks instead.

Where do we sleep on the Inca Jungle trek?

Unlike camping treks, the Inca Jungle features comfortable local eco-lodges and guesthouses in Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, and a 3-star hotel in Aguas Calientes with private bathrooms and hot showers.
