Machu Picchu + Huchuy Picchu: details and information of this ticket

Entering Machu Picchu is not as complicated as it may seem or as some people tend to rumor. The only complicated thing is planning the trip in advance and planning the activities that can be done. There are a couple of tickets that can help you visit Machu Picchu in case you have landed in Peru, you have little time but want to know the wonder of the modern world. In this article, we will know more about the details and the necessary information so that you can visit Machu Picchu with an ascent to the Huchuy Picchu mountain.

Why choose the Machu Picchu + Huchuy Picchu ticket?

This entry ticket was recently incorporated. Before it was part of the visit to Huayna Picchu, but the route became longer and made it difficult for visitors to climb the Huayna Picchu mountain. The entrance ticket to Machu Picchu, which includes the ascent to Huchuy Picchu, is the perfect example to demonstrate the intention of the authorities. That of generating a greater flow of visitors. The Huchuy Pichu mountain is the smallest of the mountains, all the mountains refer to a stage in the life of the human being.

Huchuy Picchu can be translated as “small/child mountain”, something similar occurs with Huayna Picchu which would be “medium/young mountain” and finally Machu Picchu could be translated as “big/old mountain”. They are therefore three mountains that coincide with this game of names. They would probably represent something more extensive or something that still needs to be discovered within the paths that connect these three paths of ascent.

On the other hand, this ticket is usually a necessary option for those who cannot find or make a reservation with the little time they have left. It is also an option for those who want to know more about Machu Picchu. Once you have climbed to the top of this mountain, it is possible to have a particular view of the archaeological site, especially of the pyramid that makes up the entire sector that was dedicated exclusively to the Intihuatana. From Huchuy Picchu, it is possible to see a large part of the valley formed by the Urubamba River. It has a hiking route of barely 1 kilometer which makes it suitable for everyone and also has 8-time groups to enter.
