Jungle Trekking Reviews
- The Inca JourneyThe hotels aren't the best but everything else about the tour was great. The guides all spoke English well, transport was comfortable and on time, itinerary was good, meals that were provided were also good. Also had a real good tour group. Would do another G Adventures tour again. 
- Costa Rica's Best Beach + Jungle Hikes (ages 21-35)My expectations were wildly exceeded by the staff and programming of Under30Experiences. I traveled with U30X on the Starter Costa Rica trip in November of 2016. Costa Rica is beautiful but its not so much about the place as it is the people I experienced it with. The staff went above and beyond to ensure comfort, new experiences, achieving your goals, and safety. They did their due diligence on accommodations, activities, restaurants, and bars. They have great local connections and they are so knowledgeable. I'm already planning my next trip! 
- Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu 4D/3N (Biking, Zip-Line & Rafting)I had a fantastic time during my 4 days and 3 nights. Our guide was spectacular. On the first day we rode mountain bikes for 47km and most of the time downhilling and participated in grade 3 whitewater rafting. On the second day we hiked for 10 hours on several inca trails and we also went to Thermal Springs and we took quite a few breaks as it was necessary. For the 3rd day, we ziplined and walked along the railway to Aguas Calientes. On the 4th day, as I couldn’t find a ticket for Machu Picchu, I walked from Aguas Calientes and then went to the sun gate after our tour. I couldn’t have imagine such delicious food and good accommodation and it helped us to be active for the whole trek. All the activities we participated in were excellent as well as the attention given to the safety. The guide knew a lot of thing about outdoor activities and cultural things. He was an excellent guide and very nice person (warm, friendly, funny, careful. We also could ask for some requests as I asked to walk from Aguas Calientes and there was no problem about it. In the train heading back to Ollyantaytambo, the surprise was that we got a snack and a drink! Thank’s to our guide my wish came true in Machu Picchu. Thanks Bamba 
What our customers ask about Jungle Trekking
- What's the best time to go jungle trekking?- It really depends on where you're heading, but dry seasons usually give you the best experience. If you're going to the Peruvian Amazon, plan your trip between April and October when there's less rain. For Borneo's Kinabatangan area, the sweet spot is March through October. One of our travelers who did the Inca Jungle trek shared some good news: "this tour is at lower altitude, so even though February and March are rainy months, this adventure doesn't get affected by the rain." 
- How many hours will I hike each day?- Most days you'll be on the trail between 2 and 6 hours. In places like Ecuador's Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, you'll typically do a 3-hour morning walk through the rainforest, plus maybe a shorter 1 or 2-hour walk in the afternoon. The paths can be pretty different - some are flat and easy along rivers, while others climb up hillsides. Don't worry though - you'll make plenty of stops to look for animals and learn about the forest from your guide. 
- Where will I sleep during the trek?- Your sleeping spots can range from tent camping to nice eco-lodges. The Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion near Puerto Maldonado is a good example - it has 25 private cabanas in a huge nature reserve, complete with private bathrooms and mosquito nets. If you're heading somewhere more remote, like Jamu Lodge in Ecuador's Amazon, you'll stay in simpler but clean lodges that focus on being eco-friendly. 
- How fit do I need to be?- You'll want to be in decent shape since you'll spend about 4-6 hours a day walking through thick forest on uneven ground. In places like Amazonas Basin and Tambopata Reserve, you'll be dealing with humid weather and temperatures between 85-95°F (29-35°C). At Jamu Lodge in the Amazon, for example, you'll walk about 3 hours through the rainforest with your guide, who'll point out wildlife and teach you about plants used as medicine. 
- How can I get ready for the weather?- Get ready for hot and sticky conditions - temperatures usually run between 75-95°F (24-35°C), and the humidity hits 80-100%. From what our Amazon travelers tell us, drinking lots of water is key, and you'll want to take it easy during activities. As one traveler put it: "The humidity and heat makes the trek challenging, breaks at viewing points and natural pools provide welcome relief."
