The "Inca Jungle Trail" is an adventure tour to Machu Picchu that combines activities like mountain biking, white-water rafting, and zip-lining with hiking. It's an alternative to the classic Inca Trail that offers a high-adrenaline, multi-sport experience through diverse landscapes, from high-altitude passes down into the tropical forest.
