Huayna Picchu Mountain vs Machu Picchu Montaña

During your trip to Machu Picchu you will have the opportunity to make trek your way to the top to catch an unforgettable view of the entire Incan City; a golden photography moment. Both mountains need a special ticket. And both offer a spectacular view; the majority of people are able to make their way up Machu Picchu Mountain, but not all can conquer Huayna Picchu.

HUAYNA PICCHU MOUNTAIN

Huayna Picchu is one of the mountains that stands next to Machu Picchu ruins and has amazing views from above. This hike is done after your tour with us and takes 45 minutes to the top and 45 minutes back down. Allow for time to take lots of photos, because the views are incredible. 
The Huayna Picchu Mountain is the one that you see behind Machu Picchu on any postcard; its Incan paths hidden alongside the mountain, it may frighten those of you who have a fear of heights. For those of you who struggle with heights you may need to know that you will be steps away from hundred foot plummets into an abyss, and in some places the path can be very steep and narrow. There are times when you need to use security cables to support yourself; it is a challenge for anyone. If you suffer from vertigo or you have a hard time controlling your fear of heights we would recommend taking a different route.
