I mentioned earlier that you can visit Machu Picchu + Huayna Picchu on the same day, however it is not enabled for the whole day, you have to go in these four groups to climb the young mountain or Huayna Picchu.

Group 1: This group first enters Machu Picchu at 6:00 am and after the visit goes to Huayna Picchu from 7:00 am to 8:00 am.

Group 2:You enter Machu Picchu at 7 am and Huayna Picchu from 8 am to 9 am.

Group 3: This group will enter at 8 am to Machu Picchu, after touring the llaqta depart to Huayna Picchu from 9 am to 10 am.

Group 4: The last group will access Machu Picchu at 9 am and depart to Huayna Picchu between 10 am to 11 am.

As you will see, the circuit is open from 6:00 a.m. and the last visit is at 11:00 a.m., so it is best to make your reservation for circuit 4 months in advance because most tourists tend to buy this route.

The time of visit is about 3 hours round trip, in the same citadel you can see temples, Inca walls, roads, Intihuatana, temple of the condor among others and on the way to Huayna Picchu you can see the Temple of the Moon and the Inca constructions that were built on top of the mountain.
