We also have the policy of protecting our guides from the continual physical stress of climbing which can be damaging to the knees.
Soon after we enter the ruins, if luck is with us, we´ll view the magnificence of sunrise over the peaks at Machu Picchu. Our guide will be with us and will share his detailed knowledge of the site during our two-hour guided tour.
Those people who have thought ahead and purchased an additional $45US per person ticket to climb up either Huaynapicchu Mountain or Machupicchu Mountain will be able to have a magnificent view of the ruins from high above. The extra climb takes about 3 hours, but it is well worth the effort. The view from the top is unforgettable.
