I paid $235 for the 4 day 3 night trip Jungle trip yesterday that included a bunch of activities from white water rafting, zip lining, trekking, cycling and of course seeing Machu Picchu.
Today was the first of these days and things started off early getting picked up at the hostel at 8.
A van took me and the others on the same tour (3 Russians, 2 Brazilian guys, a couple of Germans, and a guy from the States) 3 hours to the top of a mountain pass where we geared up for a downhill bike ride many kilometers from 4300 meters to 1800.
It was another 3 hours before we reached the final destination absolutely drenched from not only the rain but also the rivers of water and mud that flowed over the road, although fun to cycle through at first the rivers soon because irritating and at one point incredibly difficult to pass, having to dismount and carry our bikes across the heavy flow of water.
Included in the price of the tour was food, but unfortunately not enough, I had to eat two dinners having to pay for the second because I was ablsolutely starved after rafting the the river rapids.
The rafting was a blast, it really was quite a thrill, but more so watching the other boat bounce throwing two Argentinians into the white water they were fine after a little bit of struggle getting back to the boat.
Unfortunately i didnt take my camera on this trip because i didnt want to ruin it, so not many pictures
