Introduction

Huayna Picchu ('Young Mountain') is the iconic steep peak behind Machu Picchu; the Inca carved a zigzag stone stairway up its ridge to a summit shrine, with the Temple of the Moon at its base. Steep and quota-limited, it needs a separate reserved ticket — Machu Picchu's most breathtaking add-on hike.

Highlights

1
Zigzag stairs
Inca-carved perilous steps hug the cliff; some need hands and feet.
2
Temple of the Moon
A fine stone ritual chamber at the base, echoing the citadel.
3
Quota limited
