Trek to the top of Huayna Picchu Mountain

Next to Machu Picchu stands the 2,693-metre-high mountain, Huayna Picchu. It is 260 metres higher than Machu Picchu, and from the top of the mountain you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Machu Pichu ruin complex and the Urubamba river.

However, it is a demanding climb to the top up small, steep and, at times, slippery steps – so not for everyone.

There is a limit to how many people are allowed to climb Huayna Picchu Mountain per day, so it is important to book a place in good time and always while booking your holiday.

The tour is without a guide.

Duration: approx. 3 hours

Level of difficulty: Moderate to hard

Remember to bring: Good walking shoes and a day backpack to carry water, snacks, a camera and a rain poncho
