To get to the top of the mountain there is an Inca trail that leads from Machu Pichu to the top of the HUAYNAPICCHU mountain, the ascent time is from 1 hours to 1.5 hours approximately but the record is 18 minutes and if you like to climb this mountain you need to book way in advance the entrance which sell the following schedule.
