The mountain of Huayna Picchu overlooks the famous ancient city of Machu Picchu. Far more physically challenging and less popular than the main ruins of Machu Picchu, the hike up the side of the steep cliff face of Huayna Picchu is a "moderate to difficult climb" up the nearly vertical face of the mountain. It is one of the most remote and inaccesible ancient parts of the site to which tourists are regularly permitted. Despite being nicknamed "The Stairs of Death," the statistics do not bear it out as being particularly deadly in comparison to Machu Picchu or the grueling 4 day Inka Trail which some hikers take to Machu Picchu. However, if you're not used to it and have never done it before, and experience vertigo or a fear of heights, you might just feel like you are about to die at any moment the entire time.
