What will I see with the ticket Machu Picchu + Huchuy Picchu?

The Huchuy Picchu mountain is one of the three peaks that surround Machu Picchu and that offer hiking trails at the top of the Inca city. This mountain is next to the famous Huayna Picchu, on the north side of the archaeological site. The walk to the top of Huchuy Picchu is only approximately 1 kilometer. Because the route is uphill, the walk can take approximately 1 hour. Its summit is 2,497 meters above sea level. During the route the visitor will be able to walk through stone paths built by the Incas themselves. You will also be able to appreciate the diverse flora of Machu Picchu. From the top you can get one of the best landscape photos of the Inca citadel. The walk is suitable for all people.

Huchuy Picchu mountain was part of the Huayna Picchu mountain circuit. However, its summit was not very crowded as visitors arrived there tired from the route to the top of ‘Huayna’. Today the route to Huchuy Picchu is a differentiated adventure. The walk there follows stone paths for approximately 1 kilometer.
