Machu Picchu Huayna Picchu Tour Details
Machu Picchu Huayna Picchu Hike

Experience the best of the lost city of Incas on this two day Machu Picchu Huayna Picchu Tour from Cusco. From the summit of Huayna Picchu Mountain you will have an enchanting view of the Machu Picchu citadel. 

Machu Picchu Mountain in Quechua means Taller Mountain. Huayna Picchu Mountain is named after its shorter height when compared with the former. Although it is shorter the hike up to the summit is quite challenging. 

The infamous stair of death is the most challenging part of the hike. We highly recommend you to have a good physical condition, well acclimated and do not have any fear of heights. 

There are two trails in the mountain. The first one which is also the most popular one loops around the top of Huayna Picchu Mountain. It houses many farming terraces, narrow staircases, altars and tunnels. 

The lower trail which is often overlooked by trekkers, goes around the base of the mountain. This is where the lesser known temple of the moon is located. 

Machu Picchu Huayna Picchu Hike is action packed and is challenging. If you don’t fancy to hike up Huayna Picchu, we recommend our two day Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour. It is relatively easier and offers in detail information about Inca civilization. 

You will need to book the trail months in advance. It is best to experience the hike to Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu mountain during the dry season – between April and September.

Couple Traveller

This was a wonderful experience visiting both Machu Picchu citadel and Huayna Picchu mountain on a two day tour. The guide was very accommodating and shared many information about the history and culture of Incas. Karen took a great effort in organising the tour. Highly recommend this.
