The ticket for "Machu Picchu Mountain" allows you to visit the Inca city of Machu Picchu and also explore the famous mountain bearing its name, "Machu Picchu" or "Old Mountain."
Although Machu Picchu Mountain is more extensive in distance and higher in altitude, it is much easier to hike than "Huayna Picchu," offering wider and less steep trails.
Machu Picchu Mountain is located opposite Huayna Picchu Mountain, to the southeast of the citadel of the same name. The view from Machu Picchu Mountain is unparalleled, offering a perspective of the Inca city and Huayna Picchu from a higher vantage point.
