Upon your arrival in Aguas Calientes, take a short walk to the bus station with your guide, followed by a 20-minute bus ride to Machu Picchu citadel (8,000 ft. – 2,432 m.a.s.l.). This ascent is an absolute must-do for the adventurous!  Your switchback ascent brings you in up to one hour and half from the archaeological site to the spectacular summit of Wayna Picchu for an extremely privileged panoramic view of Machu Picchu Citadel and the jagged, larger-than-life Andes. After a short rest, descent in about forty minutes. This hike is as rewarding as it is demanding.; be prepared for a short section of narrow mountain-side stairs that are not for the faint of heart.

Please allow up to two hours hiking and up to four hours for the entire experience | You must show your passport in order to be allowed to enter Machu Picchu Citadel.
