During our tour of Machu Picchu you have the option to hike a mountain called Huayna Picchu. The total round trip hike time is approx. 3 hours. The hike is considered challening and it offers incredible views of the ruins. Melanie did it during her last visit to Machu Picchu and it was her favorite part of Machu Picchu day. If you have a strong fear of heights you may want to skip this. Do your own research to decide if you want to add this on.
Arrive in Cusco, check into the hotel, meet the group and cheers with Pisco Sours at our Welcome Dinner!
