Trail Description

The steep peak that rises behind Machu Picchu in every classic photograph, reached by a vertiginous stairway cut into the rock. The Inca steps climb past terraces and tunnels to a summit looking straight down on the ruins. Short but exposed, with a strictly limited number of tickets each day.
