Noi ci siamo arrivati con un tour con guida di tre giorni. Lì sul posto non c'è nessuna guida disponibile

The hike is not steep at all - it's actually a nice walk. It took us around 1,5 hours. I do not recall rocky paths.

When I was there in January there was no one there. I think I remember something that looked like a ticket office, but I saw no one. January is the low season - as far as I could tell there were only about 5 tourists in Yanque, so it may be that the ticket office is only open in the high season. The site is not fenced.

The hike to UyuUyu is about 1-1.5 k only (1 mile max). However it is uphill and a little rough If you normally bring and use trekking shoes then use them. However, runners would be fine! The climb up and down Huaynu Picchu (little mountain) is a different story. It involves steep and narrow steps with little protection from going over the edge. It can only be done on a combination ticket to the citadel of Machu Picchu ("big mountain"). It's about 350 metres (1000ft) above the citadel and the view down can be to die for. If you suffer from vertigo, you will be miserable! It is dangerous. If you get injured on this rock, you will find help hard to get as everyone is worried about themselves. As a guide, we are almost 70 but running fit. Had no problems but would not rush to do it again!!!!
