Entrance Machu Picchu and Mountain: Entrance with trekking route

Machu Picchu is one of the wonders of the modern world. It currently has different types of tickets. Which independently include different trekking route options. The Machu Picchu and Mountain entrance is the one that involves an ascent to one of the highest mountain that surrounds the Inca archaeological site. In this blog we want to give some details, of this entry and some new features it had, after the 2024 update. We will be able to know more about the route to the mountain and the route that is made to know the incredible Inca citadel that touches the clouds.

Why choose the Machu Picchu and Mountain entrance ticket?

This ticket is ideal for those who wish to visit Machu Picchu at a moment’s notice. That is, without much planning. It is one of the least known entrances, although with time this is changing. But, it is still possible to have a reservation with a little time in advance. The Machu Picchu Mountain ticket plus the visit to the Inca archaeological site, is usually also a nice option for those who are left with the desire to make the tour of Huayna Picchu. This is because the ascent to the Machu Picchu mountain, allows beautiful views of the site, plus a much easier hike and a less steep terrain than the route to Huayna Picchu. Although it is longer.

This is one of the positive and strongest points of this ticket. Ascending a mountain of more than 3000 meters above sea level is quite an adventure and, in addition, we will have a panoramic view of the entire archaeological site of Machu Picchu next to the Huayna Picchu and Huchuy Picchu mountains and at the same time, we will be able to see the entire river Urubamba that surrounds the slopes of both mountains.

After the above mentioned, it only remains to mention that we will be at the highest point of the whole place. We will not tire of saying that the Machu Picchu mountain offers incredible views in total contact with nature. It is an ideal option for groups of friends, but everyone must be of legal age. The way is done by a simple and safe path, although it is almost extensive. The entrance to Machu Picchu with this ticket allows you to book tickets at two different times, the first at 7:00 and the second at 9:00 in the morning.
