Enjoyed it more than Machu Picchu

I would definitely recommend the early group at 7am. Get to Machu Picchu for opening a 6 and have a casual walk through to the ruins to the Wagnapicchu entrance. You have to present your ticket and passport once again. This needs to be booked...More

A great and memorable time!

Definitely not as hard as people made it seem but was challenging at times. If you are not in shape, do not attempt going all the way up as i witnessed people struggling pretty badly. The clouds were unfortunately blocking our view most of the...More

Highlight of our trip to Perú

My wife booked our trip to Machu Picchu as a birthday surprise for me, so I wasn´t aware she had paid for admission to Huayna Picchu, or even what Huanya Picchu was! Upon arrival to Machu Picchu we hired a fantastic guide - Lucho -...More

A climb of a lifetime!

It was a mildly rainy and cloudy day. We are middle aged, in good health and sporting a "gotta do it" attitude. We went with our guide and was so glad to have gone with someone who knows the trail. You climb straight up 1000...More

Practical Advice

Many other reviews have nailed it. It is doable if you are in reasonable shape; you can go at your own pace. The views are magical. If you have issues with heights this is not for you. I have mild / moderate issues with heights...More

Would highly recommend

After researching I was not completely confident I wanted to do this after I was told about how scary it could be. I am not deathly afraid of heights but am somewhat scared. Most parts that have a risk there is a handrail or rope...More

Amazing views from machu pichu

Ascending the huayna pichu is not easy. The path to the top is full of stone stairs, some parts you will have to crawl and others will be very careful because you are ascending in the cornice. Beside this things, the reward is great. Terrific...More

Well worth the effort in climbing and seeing the site

Take it easy and keep going! It's wonderful and fascinating at the same time. A bit of a clog-jam to start the trail when we arrived at the main site. Could have been better managed. However, going on up the steep hills and looking arounf...More
