Day 1 – Sacred Valley
Aguas Calientes
Day 2 – Machu Picchu + Huayna Picchu
Huayna Picchu is the iconic, craggy mountain that appears in the background of classic postcards of the citadel. Its ascent is shorter (taking between 45 minutes and 1 hour) but extremely steep, with very steep original stone staircases and narrow paths along the edge of the precipice (popularly known as the "Stairs of Death"). Machu Picchu Mountain, on the other hand, is taller, its path is much wider, and its ascent is longer and more gradual, making it ideal for those who fear heights.
The ascent of Huayna Picchu is of moderate to challenging difficulty. While you don't need to be a professional climber, a good level of fitness is required. It is not recommended for people who suffer from severe vertigo or heart problems. Furthermore, for safety reasons, Peruvian authorities enforce age restrictions for this trek (currently only permitted for those 12 years and older, and during certain seasons the restriction is 18 and over).
Under the new regulations for tourist circuits, the ticket for this mountain is called "Circuit 3 - Route 3A: Huayna Picchu Mountain." This means that your guided tour of the citadel will focus on the lower section or the Royal Circuit (where you'll see structures like the Temple of the Sun, the Inca House, and the Sacred Rock) before or after you tackle the exhilarating climb to the summit of Huayna Picchu.
It is strictly necessary to book at least 3 to 4 months in advance. Tickets to enter Huayna Picchu mountain are the most sought-after in the entire Historical Sanctuary and have a very limited daily capacity (around 400 slots per day divided into time slots). They sell out quickly, especially during peak season (May to October).
The package includes a delicious buffet lunch featuring typical dishes in the town of Urubamba during your Sacred Valley tour (Day 1). Breakfast is also included at your accommodation in Aguas Calientes on the morning of Day 2. All other meals (dinner and lunch on Day 2) are not included, giving you the freedom to choose from the wide variety of restaurants in Aguas Calientes.
For this particular tour, trekking shoes or footwear with excellent grip are essential. The steps of Huayna Picchu are made of smooth stone and can become slippery with the morning humidity of the cloud forest or in the event of light rain. Appropriate footwear will ensure your safety and comfort during the ascent.
No. Due to strict security policies of the train companies (PeruRail and Inca Rail), you are only allowed to board with a small backpack (maximum 5 to 8 kilos) containing the essentials for one night. Your main luggage or heavy suitcases must be securely stored in your hotel's storage facility in Cusco until your return.
Yes. Although Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu are located at a lower altitude (approximately 2,430 meters above sea level), the tour begins by crossing Cusco and parts of the Sacred Valley (such as Pisac and Urubamba), areas that range from 2,800 to 3,399 meters above sea level. It is recommended that you spend at least one or two days in Cusco acclimatizing before starting the tour to avoid altitude sickness, especially given the physical demands of climbing Huayna Picchu.
