In mid November, we summited Huayna Picchu in an hour. We had the 10a entry time slot. On this sunny day, after the checkpoint, where you are made to sign in with your ticket, there is slight descent… Full review by C5616NZsusang

Unless one visits at off-peak hours, it's a fairly huge (two-hour tour) and impressive old Inca site that's usually packed with visitors. The amazing view and the engrossing guide stories combine to … Full review by Ker B

Huayna Picchu, on Circuit 3 of the new Machupicchu trail routes, is spectacular. A spot at the top overlooking Machupicchu is arguably the best breakfast view I have ever had. At a very leisurely pac… Full review by heindevries

Q:
Hi there, my wife and I will be traveling to Machu Picchu in January. We would like to hike Huaynapichu, see the moon temple up there and visit the ruins at the citadel. Do we take an early ticket, hike Huaynapicchu first then tour the ruins of the citadel or the opposite? It's very confusing and there is so much contradictory information. Please let me know..thank you!

Q:
After you make a reservation for Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu through the government website online do you have to pay for it right away? The website seems to indicate that you can pay for it through their office in Cusco, but will they actually hold the reservation for you? I was able to download a ticket with a reservation number, but I did not pay for it right away (this was a few days ago). Now when I go back to the the website and enter in my reservation number, it says that my reservation is not found. Is my ticket still valid?

I would follow-up with a phone call because you cannot pay at the gate for Huayna Picchu. You must have advanced reservations because they limit how many people enter …
A:
I would follow-up with a phone call because you cannot pay at the gate for Huayna Picchu. You must have advanced reservations because they limit how many people enter that part of the site to about 200 people per day. Something is wrong with that website. Good luck.

Q:
What kinds of shoes do you recommend for Huaynu Pichhu? We are going in about three weeks, so not too rainy.
A:
Hiking shoes are great because the stairs are uneven and the thicker sole really helps in balance.
