This hike is strenuous and recommended only for travelers comfortable with heights and who have a good fitness level. A fair amount of climbing is required. Get fabulous views of Machu Picchu from the top. Total time for this excursion? 2.5 hours. If Huayna Picchu mountain is not available you might hike to another challenging mountain called Machu Picchu Mountain, even higher than Huayna Picchu. (This hike requires advanced reservations.) Then, visit Machu Picchu Citadel, a pre-hispanic engineering marvel unveils itself gradually; this was the site Pachacutec Inca (1438-1572) chose as royal retreat and where his "malqui" or mummified remains were to be worshiped. Machu Picchu or "Old Mountain" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders yet the traveler senses a beauty unmatched by these or any other title. How was such a work accomplished? Granite stone buildings that seem to naturally sprout from the earth instead of being constructed on it. Andean mountain aesthetics can truly be appreciated at Machu Picchu; explore the site at your own pace. Visit the Royal Mausoleum or take the path to the Inca Bridge, or the central flight of steps to reach Intihuatana. Or simply contemplate the sacred geography all around; the Urubamba nearly encircling the site and Mount Salkantay ("Wild"), overlooking the citadel from the southeast. You may want to extend your hike and go to the Moon Temple as well, which is close to Huayna Picchu.

In the afternoon, head to the train station of Aguas Calientes and from there take the HIRAM BINGHAM LUXURY TRAIN back to Cusco.
