Just the hike up there is worth it! I didn’t have the best weather and view. But still worth it. The hike is short, challenging and rewarding.
Stunning but if your scared of heights I wouldn't recommend , scariest hike I ever did
Great easy 20 minutes hike. The view at the top over the ruins is amazing !
Huchuy Picchu, meaning "Little Picchu" in Quechua, is another archaeological site in Peru, situated near Machu Picchu. It's smaller and less well-known than its famous counterpart but offers impressive Inca ruins and panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. The site is often visited as part of trekking routes in the Sacred Valley, providing a more off-the-beaten-path experience for those exploring the region.
We originally planned to hike the Wanay Picchu. But, due to time constraints, we took on the much smaller Huchuy Picchu. We had stunning views of Macchu Pichu from there. Highly recommended.
Hike is bit strenuous if not in best of health or practice. Views from the top are amazing and was glad that we did choose to complete the hike. It took around 45 minutes round trip to the too.
Huchuy Picchu mountain is open for visitation, but you need to get the proper tickets to climb it. There is a limit of tickets, so need to book in advance. At the end of the climb (20 min) there is an amazing view of Machu Picchu ruins, and you can see the condor format in which the city was built.
