"A less‑challenging summit option available during peak season on the Royalty Circuit, offering softer grades while still delivering distinctive perspectives over the ruins." - Paul Jebara

As seen from the classic northward view of Machu Picchu, Huayna Picchu forms the mountain backdrop arching over the Machu Picchu complex. On closer inspection, one sees terraces, shines, and other structures along its steep cliffs. If your schedule permits, consider reserving a spot (limited to 350 per day, so recommend reserving months in advance), to climb Huayna Picchu - not only for its breathtaking views but also to see its ruins near the summit.

if you’re not fearful of heights, do it! ☺️

Huchuy Picchu mountain is open for visitation, but you need to get the proper tickets to climb it. There is a limit of tickets, so need to book in advance. At the end of the climb (20 min) there is an amazing view of Machu Picchu ruins, and you can see the condor format in which the city was built.

Incredible experience! Nothing like any hike I have completed before! A must do. Make sure you are fit though, this is not an easy hike.

One of the best views of Machu Picchu. If you get tickets for Waynapichu mountain, definitely take a short hike to Huchuy Picchu. The steps are relatively steep, so take extra caution when either getting up or down. Stay hydrated and enjoy the view ⛰️🏞️

Hike is bit strenuous if not in best of health or practice. Views from the top are amazing and was glad that we did choose to complete the hike. It took around 45 minutes round trip to the too.
