It takes about 45mins to ascend Huayna Picchu. The path up is very steep. Steps and ropes assist the hike up the mountain. This is not a path to follow for those with vertigo and I wouldn't recommend attempting this in rain or shortly after. You must sign in and out when climbing Huayna Picchu. |

The very steep steps down from the top of Huayna Picchu. We had to motor as a light rain had started and we had to catch a bus back to Aguas Calientes for a great lunch buffet
