Huayna Picchu

Huayna Picchu is a steep, prominent mountain located directly behind Machu Picchu in Peru. It rises about 2,720 meters (8,920 feet) above sea level and is renowned for its breathtaking views of the Inca citadel below. Historically, it served as a strategic lookout point and possibly a religious site for the Incas. Today, many visitors hike its challenging trail to enjoy panoramic scenery and explore ancient terraces and structures at its summit. Its striking shape and historical significance make Huayna Picchu a must-see feature for travelers visiting Machu Picchu.
