If we had to start listing the reasons why during your visit to Machu Picchu you should visit the Huayna Picchu Mountain, we would never finish, but what we can assure is that it will be an experience that you will never forget.
Accompany Auri Peru, to discover some important facts about Huayna Picchu mountain “The Place where the earth and the sky meet”.
Huayna Picchu View To Machu Picchu
After entering the Inca citadel we walk a path that allows us to reach the upper part where an incredible view stops us, paralyzes us and at the same time excites us. Seeing the Inca citadel directly leaves us speechless and as we advance we will see how an incredible place that causes a certain fear in some people is getting bigger, that is our destination, our goal, the place we want to know, the Huayna Picchu mountain.
It is common to feel a little intimidated by this challenge, in the same way that we feel some doubts, for this reason it is super important for us that you are always informed:
1.- Is Huayna Picchu worth it?
Definitely yes, the Huayna Picchu mountain is a destination that shows us its beauty from the first step, imposing its dominance from the Sacred Rock sector. We begin the hike to Huayna Picchu mountain, as we follow the path it becomes more complicated and it becomes an incredible challenge, making us live an unforgettable experience with a lot of adrenaline and emotion.

2.- How to get to Huayna Picchu?
First, we must understand that Machu Picchu as such is a destination that is very well controlled and there is a capacity of people per day, so to enter this destination we must also have an entrance ticket, this can be acquired without problem during your planning. When you enter you will see that there are various routes and ours can be the traditional one or the short one but in both cases we will reach the Sacred Rock sector, where a control booth is located and the experience of ascending the mountain begins (Remember that this walk is done without the guide, the path is marked so there is no chance of getting lost). When we reach the top we will have free time to take the best photos to show off with our friends and finally we descend and return to the same point where we will find the exit path.

3.- Is Huayna Picchu dangerous?
It must be considered that Huayna Picchu is not for everyone, as it is a very high place it is possible that many people who suffer from fear of heights have insecurity, in addition to the fact that many people have called their path the death stairs since they are very narrow for the transit of people, however after these difficulties, the achievement of overcoming the challenge for the most adventurous who like to feel adrenaline makes it a memorable experience.

4.- What is the difference between Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu?
It is normal to feel a doubt about whether the choice is correct when choosing Machu Picchu mountain or Huayna Picchu mountain. To know this, it is important to understand that each mountain is intended for a specific type of traveler.
In the first case, the Machu Picchu mountain is intended more for families with small children or people who are afraid of heights, although the section is more accessible and easy, it is also extensive.
For the second case, which is the Huayna Picchu mountain, it is planned for travelers who have a taste for adventure and adrenaline since although the time is less, its access is somewhat more complicated since in a certain part it becomes very narrow.
For this reason we can say that there is no comparison or certainty of which is better, both are ideal and very incredible, that is why the question you have to ask yourself is: What type of traveler am I? Is adrenaline and excitement my thing or being calm and traditional?

5.- Is Huayna Picchu open now?
There is popular news that affects travel plans every year and that is that during the month of February, Machupicchu is closed for the rainy season, well now you will discover that this is a LIE. During the month of February as such, the only thing that closes its access due to a maintenance concept is the Inca Trail in its 2 modalities (Classic of 4 days and Short of 2 days), the rest of the destinations and experiences are 100% operational although of course They become a little more complicated due to the climate, however we will also find a natural environment that is much greener and more pleasant to the eye. The Huayna Picchu mountain as a destination is possible to visit on any date of the year that you choose, so there is no restriction on that side.

6.- Can I get guide after Huayna Picchu?
It is possible, however we recommend the opposite. That is, first you enjoy the guided experience throughout the Inca citadel, knowing and discovering each space and enclosure with our professional guides and then being able to visit the Huayna Picchu mountain calmly. The guided groups are closely linked to the established schedules, so if for some reason you delayed returning from the mountain, there is a possibility that you will not reach your group and you will have to make an additional expense to get a new group or private guide.
