What To Explore In Machu Picchu

Huayna Picchu

Ascend to the summit of Huayna Picchu for unparalleled vistas of Machu Picchu and an opportunity to explore additional ruins along the trail. Due to limited availability, it’s essential to secure your entrance tickets for Huayna Picchu well in advance.

Machu Picchu Mountain

Another favored hiking choice, Machu Picchu Mountain boasts awe-inspiring panoramic perspectives of the citadel and the majestic Andes Mountains. Similar to Huayna Picchu, access to Machu Picchu Mountain is restricted, hence it’s crucial to book your tickets well ahead of time.

Sungate

The renowned Sun Gate, known as Inti Punku in Quechua, serves as the gateway for Inca Trail trekkers to enter the Machu Picchu citadel. Additionally, visitors on day trips to Machu Picchu can opt to explore this landmark through an extra hiking excursion.

Temple of the 3 Windows

Among Machu Picchu’s most iconic sites, the Temple of the Three Windows stands sentinel over the Sacred Plaza, characterized by three windows fashioned in the distinctive Incan trapezoidal design.

Guardhouse

As one of the initial stops during your Machu Picchu tour, the Guardhouse (alternatively referred to as the House of the Guardians or Guardian’s hut) formerly served as a post for citadel sentinels. Today, it offers an excellent vantage point for capturing sweeping panoramic views of the ruins.

Inca Bridge

An often sought-after hiking spot within Machu Picchu, The Inca Bridge (Puente Inca) is a slender wooden plank traversing a dizzying cliff edge, situated at the terminus of a narrow stone path. Originally conceived as a covert escape route, its precarious construction served to restrict access to the citadel.

Temple of the Condor

This natural rock formation, sculpted by the Incas to resemble an Andean condor, held significant religious significance and stands as a remarkable testament to Inca stone craft.
