Machu Picchu Route 1A

Machu Picchu Mountain extra hike

Machu Picchu route 1A

Many people hike up Machu Picchu Mountain to get photos looking down on the ruins, with picturesque Huayna Picchu in the background.

This hike typically takes 2-3 hours, but be aware that the top of this mountain is often in the clouds, which would block your view down onto the ruins.
