In general, the climate in this area is usually hot and humid, as you pass through the Amazon rainforest. But be careful! The coldest point will be in Abra Málaga because you will be at 4,350 meters above sea level / 14,272 feet and at a temperature of 09 °C / 48.2 °F.
The time spent in the highest area of the route is very short, since the Inca Jungle trek route mostly focuses on the Amazon jungle.
The highest peak you will reach will be at Abra Málaga at just over 4300 m (14,108 ft). From this point, you will descend relatively quickly while cycling.
For most of the route, the altitude does not exceed 2,000 m (6,562 ft). Machu Picchu sits at 2,430 m (7,972 ft) which is relatively low. This means that altitude sickness in the Inca Jungle does not occur in travelers or is too rare.
Experiencing mild altitude sickness such as headache, dizziness or nausea is very common for visitors to Cusco. It is important that you acclimatize for a few days in Cusco before doing the Inca Jungle trek.
Travel insurance for your trek is a must as most operators will require you to carry one.
Check that your chosen insurer covers mountain biking and rafting on the Urubamba River.
The Inca Jungle, as its name suggests, runs through jungle landscapes full of vegetation. For safety reasons, it is not recommended to do the route in the rainiest months: January, February and March. These can cause landslides and accidents to people. This adventure can be carried out the rest of the year.
If you chose this tour to visit Machu Picchu, do not forget to bring appropriate clothing for hiking as well as personal hygiene items. Don’t forget to bring bathing clothes and a towel to better enjoy the Cocalmayo thermal baths on the second afternoon. Sunscreen, a cap, mosquito repellent and a poncho in case of rain are also recommended.
All Inca Jungle tours include the basic entrance to Machu Picchu that allows you to tour the archaeological site and get the classic postcard photos. For an additional cost, the visitor can add entry to Huayna Picchu Mountain, a short hiking route at the top of the site.
During the four days of the route the weather will be hot most of the time. The geography is mountainous but with abundant tropical flora and fauna. The flora is made up mainly of fruit plantations, coffee plantations and the beautiful orchids of Machu Picchu. The fauna is made up mainly of birds such as the cock-of-the-rock or mammals such as the Andean deer.
