Then we continue driving for another 1.5 hours up to the Malaga High Pass (4,350 meters) where our guide will provide us with a safety briefing before we begin our adventurous 2.5 hour bike ride down into the lush and humid jungle. We will see Huamanmarca Archaeological site along the way, cruise through fruit plantations and over rivers, before arriving to Santa Maria village (1,400 meters) at around 2:00-2:30pm. Here we will depart on a scenic 2.5 hour rafting adventure that takes us down class III & IV rapids on the Urubamba River (also known as Vilcanota River).  Enjoy your night at a basic, rustic guesthouse in Santa Maria.

Trip of a Lifetime!

43494

This trip was amazing! I went on this trek with 6 other friends. We had Percy as our tour guide and we felt SO lucky to have him. He was accommodating, comforting and friendly! He made our trip what it was. Peru is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. If you love a mix of adventure and exploring small villages, this trip is for you!:)

A once in a life one trip.

Chino is truly passionate about his tours and is funny and played along with us. He gave us extra time to accommodate us and made the experience a once in a life one trip. Thank you!

Excellent & highly recommend!

43708

We did the 4 day jungle trek with Percy as our guide and we can only say positive things! Percy was an incredible guide who was very knowledgeable, fun and organised. He showed us a great insight into Peru and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The trek itself has a combination of activity, hiking and learning. It’s tough in parts but overall very achievable!

Junior was an awesome guide, very social, good english and he made our trip really awesome! Would highly recommend both him and bamba.

It was amazing!!!

43664

We just returned from Peru and the Bamba Experience. My husband, myself, and our 18 and 24 year old children went for the adventure vacation. While we have done trips like this before I believe this will be the most memorable for all.The initial visit to the Bamba office left us wondering about things a bit. The Admin was not the friendliest and we felt a little brushed off. However, upon returning to the office to meet our guide we felt better. And for good reason. We lucked out and got Junior! Junior literally made our trip the best possible way to see and learn about Peru. Junior's English is excellent and he even taught us a new word...syncretism. His knowledge of his culture and Machu Picchu was remarkable to say the least.

Best. Trip. Ever.

43472

If you are planning to make a trip to Peru, I'd highly recommend using Bamba Experience. We couldn't have asked for a better four day trip to Machu Picchu and I credit the amazing experience to our tour guide, Percy. He was patient, accommodating, knowledgeable, and an all around great guy. Can't wait to go back!

Recommend recommend !!

43750

We had 4 days tour with Bamba and we highly recommend it. Our guide, Junior was great, and he made this tour so great! The food we got especially in Santa Maria, one of the best food, breakfast, lunch and dinner we have had, so good!! Thank you Bamba for this tour :)

Awesome experience!!

43679

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip with our amazing guide Anderson! He spoke English very well and took into consideration my dietary needs (gluten/vegetarian) at every food stop. Accommodation was good and the activities were a lot of fun, highly recommended! Thanks Anderson =)

Incredible Trip. Incredible Guide.

43761

This was the most incredible trip I’ve had. The itinerary is planned and executed very well; we never had any issues with buses, hotels, food, or tickets along the way. What made the trip special was our guide, Vidal. He knew when to push us physically and also when to take it slow during the hike. He incorporated culture and history at each opportunity. His knowledge of Picchu is unmatched. I will never forget him playing a Peruvian flute as hiked the Inka trail.

What an experience!!

43567

We trekked, biked, rafted, zip-lined and visited Machu Pichu all within a few days. I feel the trip was value for money because the accommodation and food was brilliant with our guide being even better.
