Considerations

To secure a permit and entry ticket to Machu Picchu, government regulations require complete and up-to-date passport information for all hikers. Permits are not transferable and can easily sell out, it is recommended to make your reservation at least 4 months in advance.

Climbing Huayna Picchu is an excellent option to a trip to Machu Picchu. It offers really beautiful views, but it is a steep climb that can take about three hours.
Entry to Huayna Picchu is limited and at scheduled times, visitors must request a spot in advance if you want to consider doing the climb. While not as physically


demanding as the full Inca Trail, hikers should be in good physical condition.
