Travel Information

The path up to Inti Punku climbs over 1400 meters in altitude and 8km one way distance if you hike from Ollantaytambo. For the alternative hike from Wispan (21km one way), a guide by a tour company is recommended, because you can also often come into side walls of fog and then quite get lost. Also appropriate hiking apps that work without internet connection are recommended. Bring enough water and food with you.
