Huayna Picchu is a mountain that rises over Machu Picchu. 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 2,693 meters (8,835 ft) above sea level, or about 260 meters (850 ft) higher than Machu Picchu. The reward for climbing the steep path comes as an amazing view from the top, which is said to be the best place to see Machu Picchu from above.
