Waynapicchu

This was one crazy hike -the Incas built steps as steep as ladders! This 'climb' took about 45 minutes to get up and 45 down. It offered a good (but familiar) view of Machu Picchu and the real thrill was in racing up the mountain. There is a 7am pass and a 10am pass. I had the 10am pass which was perfect so that I could participate in the walking tour with Lucio, Simone, and Araceli. The Waynapicchu pass is only open to 200 people per session and can be difficult to secure in the high season. I didn't have a problem during the rainy season but still had to get the ticket in advance- $30. An extra perk is that you can stay at MP all day with this ticket. I didn't want to leave!Read more
