A gravel road winds through the mountains and deep into the jungle. As on any road trip, there are great things to see along the way. From small towns to wild monkeys, this trip offers a great glimpse into life in the Peruvian jungle.

We’ll pick you up from your hotel early in the morning in a pickup truck to begin our adventure. Breakfast is in the charming town of Paucartambo. You can enjoy a hot drink, eggs, pancakes, juice, and more.
The trip will continue into the Cloud Forest, where the scenery and climate change quickly. In the Cloud Forest, there will be chances to explore and look for wild animals like monkeys and birds, including the bright-red Andean Cock of the Rock.
In the late afternoon, we’ll arrive at our first lodge for dinner and some time to relax.
After dinner, we have the option to go on a night walk to look for creepy crawlies before falling asleep to the music of the jungle.
We will depart the lodge early in the morning and start the date with a picnic breakfast. After breakfast we will explore Machu Wasi Oxbow lake, hiking and on the balsa raft, looking for animals and birds. On the way back to Cusco we will stop at the Hummingbird sanctuary, where you can hike and explore the jungle before heading back to Cusco through the cloud forest.
