Visiting Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu is a unique experience. You can walk along ancient Inca trails, explore the ruins, and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views that can only be seen from Huayna Picchu mountain.
This exclusive full-day tour to Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu offers an all-inclusive service that optimizes your trip from Cusco, with transfers in tourist transport to Ollantaytambo, round-trip train tickets (Voyager or Expedition services), Consettur buses, and official entrance fees for the historical sanctuary circuits. The adventure itinerary begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel to ensure a direct ascent to the steep summit of Huayna Picchu at 9:00 a.m., followed by a self-guided 2- to 3-hour hike with spectacular views of the canyon; followed by a bilingual (Spanish/English) guided tour of the Inca citadel before returning to Cusco in the evening. To ensure a safe and comfortable experience on this challenging trekking route, travelers are advised to book in advance, carry their original passport or national identity card, bring a small backpack, wear trekking shoes with good grip, dress in layers, and protect themselves with insect repellent, sunscreen, and sunglasses.
Our tour begins between 3:30 and 4:00 a.m. with a pick-up from your hotel in Cusco. We'll then travel by tourist transport to the train station in Ollantaytambo. Once there, you'll board the train to Aguas Calientes. Upon arrival, an agency representative will be waiting to assist you with the immediate bus ride up to the entrance of Machu Picchu.
Due to the official entry time for Huayna Picchu Mountain, our first visit will be to this mountain. Your entry is scheduled for 9:00 a.m., so you should proceed directly to the corresponding checkpoint. The ascent is self-guided, as this route is unguided and the hike is independent. The hike takes approximately 2 to 3 hours round trip, depending on your pace.
After completing your visit to Huayna Picchu, you'll have a short break before re-entering the sanctuary for your guided tour of Machu Picchu. Our professional guide will accompany you and explain the history, architecture, and main areas of the citadel, following an authorized circuit that allows you to appreciate temples, enclosures, viewpoints, and agricultural areas.
At the end of the guided tour, you will descend by bus to Aguas Calientes, where you will have free time for lunch or to stroll through the town before boarding the train back to Ollantaytambo. Upon arrival, our tourist transport will be waiting to take you back to the city of Cusco. The estimated arrival time is between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., ending at a point near the historic center.
Our tour starts very early, between 3:30 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., to ensure we arrive on time for the train to Aguas Calientes. This allows us to enter Huayna Picchu at the scheduled time of 9:00 a.m., the only time available for those traveling from Cusco on a full-day tour.
The ascent to Huayna Picchu begins at 9:00 a.m.
Afterward, visitors re-enter the sanctuary for a guided tour of Machu Picchu, following Circuit 2, the most comprehensive route.
The hike takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours in total, including the ascent, time at the summit, and descent. It is challenging, but entirely doable with a basic level of fitness and by following your own pace.
No, the ascent of Huayna Picchu is done individually, as the Ministry of Culture does not allow guides on the mountain.
The guide will accompany you on the official guided tour inside Machu Picchu, after the climb.
The mountain presents a moderate to high level of difficulty due to its steep staircases and narrow paths.
It is not necessary to be an athlete, but good mobility and a fear of heights are recommended.

Entrance ticket to Machu Picchu + Huayna Picchu
Both documents must match your personal information.

Huayna Picchu can be visited year-round, as access is never closed. However, the experience varies greatly depending on the season:
Dry season (April to October): This is considered the best time to visit. The trails are firmer, there is less chance of rain, and the views are usually clearer. June, July, and August are the most stable months, although also the most crowded.
Rainy season (November to March): It is still possible to visit without problems, but the trails can be wet or slippery. Therefore, we recommend bringing a rain poncho, footwear with good traction, and taking the ascent at a leisurely pace. In return, you will find a greener landscape, fewer tourists, and mists that create a mysterious atmosphere.
Yes. Tickets to Huayna Picchu are very limited and sell out quickly.
For peak season, we recommend booking 2 to 4 months in advance.
For low season, at least 1 month in advance.
Huayna Picchu has narrow sections and steep inclines. If you suffer from vertigo, it's best to opt for Machu Picchu alone or choose Machu Picchu Mountain, which is wider and more stable.
The guided tour lasts approximately 2 hours, covering the most important points of Circuit 2. Re-entry is not permitted afterward, as each ticket is valid for one entry only.
