Did you know that you can make your visit to Machu Picchu this 2024 unique? Auri Peru wants you to live an unforgettable experience, that’s why we tell you how to achieve it. Something that many people do not know about this beautiful destination is that there are 2 viewpoints that involve a hike inside the Inca citadel. Currently known as Machu Picchu mountain and Huayna Picchu mountain.
1.- HUAYNA PICCHU MOUNTAIN
The most popular mountain of the Inca citadel, it represents a great challenge for visitors due to its narrow and inclined path but a huge achievement for those who manage to overcome it. It has a height of 2720 meters above sea level which also makes the demand greater at the beginning and at the end, for an average of 3 hours you will enjoy impressive views with a constant dose of adrenaline from the height and excitement of ascending its ancient steps of stone. Without a doubt, it is an experience that you cannot miss, however you must take into account that as a security measure by the Peruvian state it has an age recommendation and that only those over 12 years of age can access it, so If the intention is to share the experience with minor children, we will have to sign a responsibility document, so it is better to take it into account during planning.
2.- MACHU PICCHU MOUNTAIN
Considered the highest mountain, this option has the best panoramic view of the entire Machu Picchu sanctuary with a height of 3082 meters above sea level. It is an easier option in terms of characteristics because its path is wider and less steep, however it is more extensive in distance as well as its time of approximately 4 hours so the demand is very similar. In this version of the experience, the emotion is constant due to the energy emanating from the mountain itself, which sharpens all our senses, an ideal option for the whole family since it does not have an age recommendation, and from this place we can appreciate the impressive Sun Gate which is the entrance for the most adventurous who arrive along the Inca trail.
