The ticket for Machu Picchu Mountain (Circuit 1 - Machu Picchu Mountain Route) allows you to enjoy the panoramic view of Machu Picchu from the top of the citadel. Additionally, you will be able to visit the famous mountain that shares its name, "Machu Picchu" or old mountain.
Although Machu Picchu Mountain is longer in distance and higher in elevation, it is much easier to hike than "Huayna Picchu" mountain. It also offers wider and less steep paths.
Machu Picchu Mountain is located in front of Huayna Picchu Mountain, southeast of the citadel of the same name. The view from Machu Picchu Mountain is unparalleled, offering a higher perspective of the Inca city and Huayna Picchu.
