Advice from people who have been there
By: Shirley A“You need to book the Wayna much earlier“
“When we were told of Machu Picchu we were told that the best experience we could have in this national park was to climb the Huayna Picchu mountain, however when we tried to book, 2 months before, the tickets had already been exhausted. If you want to be on top of this mountain, I recommend you book 4 months before. Otherwise you can do as we do, and settle for the mountain Machu Picchu. “
