2 Days and 1 Night Private Tour in Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu

Huayna Picchu is the mountain overlooking Machu Picchu. There are 400 tickets per day issued to do the climb, so you need to book in advance. The climb is pretty brutal; very steep with mainly steps, some of which are fairly high. That said, every time you stop there are fantastic views, the best being from the summit over Machu Picchu. There is a one way system at the summit, and the descent starts with a tight squeeze through a narrow cave in the rock. Take your backpack off before going in unless you are tiny, as otherwise you might get stuck (I nearly did). And take 1l water per person; it’s hot, and you will be exerting yourselves.

The tour operator cancelled on us 30 min before our meeting time on the trip date. We were scrambled and tried to find alternatives with local travel agency. We booked this trip 8 months prior and confirmed with viator multiple times as we approached the date. We tried to contact local operator via the Viator app many times and they never responded. They finally responded on the day of trip and said everything cancelled. We asked some local travel agency and they recognized this tour company is located in Bolivia. Btw, Viator did not help much when all these issues happened. We are still waiting for our refund. We leave this review so no one would fall to the same scam.

The Huayna Picchu mountain is quite Lakota and its rise is steep to the extreme but it provides an unparalleled view of Machu Picchu. The effort is great, but the reward is worth it
