What do I need to bring to the Inca Jungle trek 4 Days?

Each trek is different and you will obviously modify your packing list for your own needs. The Inca Jungle Trail tour is different in the way that you stay in hotels along your trek.

Do I need money?

During the wet season the jungle environment especially descending from the mountains is prone to mudslides and heavy rain which makes this trip not as enjoyable as it could be. For this reason also during the wet season we no longer include the white water rafting in our trips due to the rain and its effects on the river and your safety.

Between April and November are strong moths to book in depending on what you want ; A positive for booking within a month closer to the wet season is that wildlife is easier to spot.Although the best time regarding weather for this trek is either May, June, July and August having temperatures exceeding 30°C.

What happens if I have a medical condition?

You know yourself better than anyone else if your medical condition will hinder your trip or not. It is imperative that you let us know however, especially if you intend to carry medications with you. We can advise on the best options if we are aware and also make special provisions if needed. Although if you do have an ongoing medical condition we highly urge you to seek council with your doctor before booking onto any trek.

What happens if I have dietary needs?

Not a problem , we can cater for you. Please, let us know at the time of booking so we can ensure tasty options for you!

How long do I need to become accustomed to altitude?

It is recommended that at least a couple of days in Cusco before starting any trek. Some struggle with the altitude more than others, if you find you are being affected by it, take time to relax and don’t exert yourself too much , take altitude sickness tablets, drink plenty of water.
