Should you hike Wayna Picchu or Machu Picchu?

- In this video, we explore Machu Picchu and Wayna Picchu and the Gran Caverna with its moon temple.
You are probably wondering if you should hike Wayna Picchu or Machu Picchu, we recommend doing both in one day if your fit.
We left Cusco the day before we planned on hiking Machu Picchu.
We took a 2-hour private taxi from Cusco to the train station.
We then boarded the Inca Rail and spent another couple hours on the train before arriving in the Aguas Calientes.
We spent the night in Aguas Calientes and planned on waking up at 4AM to get ready to take the first bus up the mountain.
We're on the second bus and we're one of the first people to enter Machu Picchu.
We paid extra for premium tickets that would give us access to Wayna Picchu. These tickets are very popular and should be booked 4-6 months in advance as there are only 400 of them available per day.
We entered Wayna Picchu at 7:30AM, this is when the trail opens up and if you are one of the first people to start the hi it's ideal as it's very difficult and you don't want to get stuck behind someone slow.
After a 2 hour hike up, we decided to extend our hike and visit the Gran Caverna and the moon temple. This extension is 2-3 hours depending on your speed and the weather. It's likely you can expect rain on this trail as you circle the wetside of the mountain.
The views are spectacular and there is plenty of wildlife including parrots. We highly recommend taking this route back if you have the energy.
When we got back to the main fortress of Machu Picchu there we're people everywhere. We did a quick tour through the ruins, took some photos, and headed down the mountain by bus.

Wayna Picchu mountain looking very beautiful views and unique.
Have you done it?
Beautiful! We definitely want to go to Machu Picchu, but never got a chance to yet. Wayna Picchu & Gran Cave looks so awesome! But the hike looks pretty crazy though! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video!
It's not too bad, wouldn't recommend it for people that aren't in shape though.
Du lịch cảnh đẹp quá bạn ơi chức bạn thành công nhé

Love this video! Planning on doing this trip and hike late in March. Do you feel that visiting the citadel and Wayna Picchu are doable in a day? Also, did you guys have to hire a guide? All my research is pointing to needing to hire a guide but it looks like you guys are all on your own.
You can hire a guide if you want, we personally find it annoying having a guide. You can just do the research online to learn about the ruins and then spend your day enjoying the hike and views. If you want a guide, you can get one last minute at the entrance, people stand there trying to get you to hire them as a guide. Yo can easily do everything in one day if your in good shape. It will be a long day, but 100% doable. Just make sure you are up at 4:30AM and on the first bus. Enjoy! Thanks for watching our video
@@MeghanandQuincy that's great to know. I also know I will be taking a million photos and will want to take my time soaking it all in so I would prefer to go at my own pace. I was just under the impression that a guide is mandatory to enter the ruins but it's good to know that we'll have the option to explore it on our own. Thanks again for the invaluable tips! :)
Great video! Did it really take an additional 3 hours to hike down?
If you go the long way down, yes... it takes that much longer
Cool video!
Was that 3 hours from huina to Machu piccu? 7 more days and we will be there. Looking for the best trail options to see both wayna and machu picchu.
make sure you get your ticket to wayna picchu in advance they limit the amount of people that can go up per day
Hi I came across your video. I am scared of heights, are either of you scared of heights when hiking the trail? I would love to hike the trail but I would like to know if you would recommend it for someone who would be in Peru this year.
I think everyone is afraid of heights, we are for sure. If you are already in peru, I would do this. :)
Good vids, like 11+ SUBSCRIBED. Am here. Be safe friends ❤️🙏🙏
