What is the experience offered by the ‘Huayna Picchu Ticket’?

  • This type of ticket is one of the most popular among visitors from all over the world because it allows you to visit Machu Picchu (circuit 3 through the lower part or royal sector), as well as the popular hike to the top of the Huayna Picchu mountain (2,693 meters above sea level).
  • The visit to Machu Picchu is done through the so-called ‘Sector of the royalty’ or lower part of the archaeological site. There the tourist will be able to get a very beautiful picture of Machu Picchu (not the classic photo) from the so-called agricultural sector. There, in addition, the llamas of the Inca citadel usually graze. That is why you can also get beautiful pictures of these laughing Andean camelids.
  • Circuit 3 through the royal sector also includes visits to famous Inca constructions such as the Temple of the Sun, the House of the Inca, the Sacred Rock, the Temple of the Condor (or the Water Mirrors), the Sacred Fountains and the terraces. In total the visitor has approximately 1 hour to complete this circuit.
  • But the highlight of this ticket is that it allows you to visit the top of the Huayna Picchu mountain, from where you have a panoramic view of the great Andean geography that surrounds Machu Picchu. The hike to Huayna Picchu mountain is uphill for almost 2 kilometers. Most of it is through stone staircases built by the Incas. In the past, this ticket included a visit to the Temple of the Moon (the Great Cavern). However, today this mysterious Inca construction is included in the ‘Temple of the Moon Ticket’.
  • The visitor has up to 3 hours to ascend and descend Huayna Picchu mountain. This time is more than enough. After that, you should complete your visit to Machu Picchu and leave the archaeological site.
  • This ticket is available every day of the year. It is suitable for visitors over 18 years old. The purchase of the ticket offers discounts for university visitors and citizens of the Andean Community of Nations: Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia.
  • It is recommended to purchase online one or two months in advance.

What are the entrance groups and schedules of the ‘Huayna Picchu Ticket’?

From 2024, the new entrance hours to Huayna Picchu mountain are divided into only two groups. All allow entry to Waynapicchu and the Inca City of Machu Picchu (circuit 3 or royal circuit).

Huayna Picchu ticket groupsEntrance time to Machu PicchuEntrance time to Huayna PicchuDeparture time (approx.)
Group 1From 6 am to 6.30 amUntil 8 am12 am
Group 2From 9 am to 9.30 amUntil 11 am3 pm

  • Waynapicchu Group 1

    • The first group allows you to enter the Inca City of Machu Picchu from 6 am to 6.30 am.
    • The entrance to Huayna Picchu mountain is until 8 am.

  • Waynapicchu Group 2

    • The second group allows you to enter Machu Picchu from 9 am to 9.30 am.
    • The entrance to Huayna Picchu mountain is until 11 am.

With the ‘Huayna Picchu’ ticket, the tourist can stay a maximum of 4 hours from the time of entry. The visit to the Huayna Picchu mountain allows you to visit for a maximum of 3 hours. On the other hand, the visit to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu allows a maximum of 1 hour. This time is enough to visit both tourist attractions. This ticket does not allow you to visit the House of the Guardian where you get the classic photo of the Inca city. It also does not allow you to visit the main temples of the Inca city (circuit 2): the Main Temple, the Temple of the 3 Windows, the Temple of the 3 Windows.

Why is it difficult to get availability of the Huayna Picchu ticket?

  • Huayna Picchu is the incredible mountain in the background of the classic photos of Machu Picchu. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions and most requested by visitors to the Historic Sanctuary. However, only 200 people can enter daily.
  • Reaching its summit is a great feat and will be the greatest adventure of your life. The mountain has zigzagging trails and stairways carved in stone. Once at its summit you will feel a great sense of satisfaction and peace.
  • The views of Machu Picchu and its surroundings are spectacular and unique. In the mountain you can find Inca remains such as viewpoints, rooms and platforms. In addition, there you can cross very famous paths, such as: the stairs of death (no one died there, it is so called because of the difficulty it takes to overcome these stone steps of great elevation).
  • Due to all that this adventure represents, it is best to purchase your ticket online two or three months in advance. Otherwise, you run the risk of not finding availability.

The ascent to Huayna Picchu is considered one of the best short hikes in the world. It has stretches of stone steps that have an average of thirty degrees of inclination. However, almost at the top there are sections with an inclination of up to sixty degrees. This requires the use of both hands to overcome the highest stairs. Unlike other types of tickets (such as the ticket to Intipuku, the Great Cavern, the Inca Bridge or Huchuy Picchu), this short route is available every day of the year.

How to find Huayna Picchu ticket availability?

The only way to find availability is to book online and in advance the entrance ticket to Waynapicchu.

  • During the low tourist season (November to May) you should book 1 or 2 months in advance.
  • During the high tourist season (June to October) you should book approximately 3 months in advance.

Climbing the Huayna Picchu mountain requires a regular physical condition and, above all, not to be afraid of heights. However, everyone can dare. The only restriction is that only people over 18 years old can climb. In total there are two hundred tickets available per day. The visit takes place in two schedules: at 6:00 am and at 9:00 am. Both offer the visit to Machu Picchu through circuit 3, through the lower part of the Inca citadel. If you are traveling with people under 18 years old and are looking for a similar hike, the best option is to take the route to the top of Machu Picchu mountain. This hike is more difficult but with wider and safer trails. The visit is with the ‘Machu Picchu Mountain Ticket’, which is suitable for people of all ages.
