Before entering, you can use the restrooms (there are none inside the site). Then, with your guide, begin your 2.5-hour private tour through the most important and sacred areas of the citadel of Machu Picchu. Marvel at the Incan architecture, the precision of the stonework, and the ingenious hydraulic systems.

Along the way, you’ll pass Inca constructions and the city’s water canals before reaching the Huayna Picchu checkpoint.

The trail is narrow and surrounded by lush vegetation with endemic shrubs. After about 10 minutes of climbing, you’ll start enjoying amazing views of the surrounding mountains. The path includes steep stone steps, and you’ll likely need to use your hands for support. Gradually, you’ll ascend until reaching the summit of Huayna Picchu (2,690 m / 8,826 ft) after approximately 1.5 hours.

From the top, you’ll be amazed by the breathtaking views of the Machu Picchu citadel and the surrounding mountains. It’s one of the best panoramic points, offering views of Aguas Calientes town and the rushing Urubamba River.

Once at the summit, you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular view of the turquoise Humantay Lake (4,200 m / 13,780 ft), fed by glacial meltwater.
