Advice from people who have been there

Huayna Picchu

By: Luana F.

“Wonderful place“

“The Huayna Picchu is a magical place full of energy. I am not a very fit person, on the contrary, I am quite sedentary, but I climbed the wayna (or huayna), without any problem up to the top. Just climb at your own pace, go slowly if you have to, but don't worry, you'll get there. At the top, the views are incredible, some of the most incredible I've ever seen. The only way you can't do it is if you don't book tickets in advance.“
