Raske fakta: Climbing this peak involves steep and narrow trails with steps carved out of rock, challenging even experienced hikers. The summit offers a dramatic view towering about 270 meters above the famous ruins below.
Høydepunkter: A trail passes tightly by an ancient Inca temple with trapezoidal windows, believed to be an observatory for agricultural cycles. From the top, catch an amazing panorama where morning mist weaves through the valley, transforming the landscape into a living painting.
