Day 1: Cuzco, Peru

Location: Cusco

Duration: 3 Days

Departure Time: 6:30

Cuzco to Malaga High Pass, Mountain Biking to Santa Maria Village (1,400m) (L/D)
Your day starts at 6:30 am with a 1.5 hours drive to Ollantaytambo, where you can take a quick breakfast and buy some snacks for the rest of the road to the Malaga High Pass. Once you get there, you will be providing a safety briefing with your guide before you begin an adrenaline-pumping 2.5-hour bike ride down into the lush Peruvian jungle. You will see the stunning and remote Huamanmarca archaeological site while cruising through fruit plantations and over rivers before arriving at Santa Maria village. Then you will have free time. You will finish your day with a drive to Santa Teresa where you will rest in a hostel dorm.
Note: Accommodation options are very limited along the trekking route for the first 2 nights in Santa Maria & Santa Teresa villages. Most places have very basic, rustic facilities. Rooms often share a bathroom and sometimes do not have hot water.

Day 2: Aguas Calientes, Peru

Location: Aguas Calientes

Hide to Aguas Calientes along the train tracks or Machu Picchu town (B/L/D)
Take an easy 3-hour hike along the train tracks from Santa Teresa to Hydroelectric Station where you will stop for lunch. Then, you will continue 3 more hours on foot to reach Aguas Calientes town, where you will find internet cafes, cafes with board games and cards, plenty of shops and places to relax. (Most people hike this portion of the trek but there is an optional train ride from Hydroelectric Station to Aguas Calientes if you're feeling tired). Overnight in a hostel tonight for a well-deserved shower and good night's sleep.

Day 3: Machu Picchu, Peru

Location: Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu

Explore the ancient citadel and the city of Machu Picchu & Return to Cuzco (B)
Today you will walk up to Machu Picchu and enjoy 2 hours guided tour of the ancient citadel. After this, you can explore the mysterious city on your own. You can choose one of the optional activities like climb the Huayna Picchi Peak (to be booked in advance at an extra cost) before you walk back down to Aguas Calientes. If time allows, visit the local marketplace next to the train station and shop until the train whistle blows, signaling your return to Ollantaytambo.

To this day, this is the best tour we've ever done together as a couple! The fun activities, great hotels and nice guides worth the money! We were always taken care of and they made sure that we had a good time. This tour is definitely worth taking.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

The tour was fantastic; I was able to visit some of Japan's most beautiful locations, and the accommodations were excellent, with convenient access to the city's best attractions. Also, our tour guide was fantastic. I will pick bamba again and recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see Japan while having a good time!!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
