Huayna Picchu
Huayna Picchu or Wayna Picchu (Quechua: “Young Peak”) is a mountain in Peru around which the Urubamba River bends. It rises over Machu Picchu, the so-called “lost city of the Incás” and divides it into sections. The Incas built a trail up the side of the Huayna Picchu and built temples and terraces on its top. The peak of Huayna Picchu is about 2720m or 8922′ above sea level, or about 360m higher than Machu Picchu. Huayna Picchu travel guides.
