A Little Inca Town Not Far From Machu Picchu
Huinay Huayna between the andinas, below the Inca Trail
Huinay Huayna is a well-preserved beautiful little Inca town near the Inca Trail that leads to Machu Picchu. Travelers who take the popular hike get the chance to admire this small, but beautiful complex of buildings situated between scenic andinas.
The site is located just below the Inca Trail and very close to the Machu Picchu archaeological site.
Huinay Huayna is quite popular among Inca ruins, but you can only see it if you hike on the Inca Trail that leads to Machu Picchu. Access to the trail is limited only to those who book well in advance at a tour operator.
The little town of Huinay Huayna is very beautiful, although it is often not mentioned in major guides. Due to its remoteness...
Huinay Huayna is only at about 10 minutes walking distance from the nearby "Trekker Hotel", where you can lay back and take a rest after the long hike. The hotel is a good place for those who want to refresh themselves and eat too.
This site is popular among photographers who like to explore the Inca lands... The site itself is attractive, but the views with the mountains and forests around ass well, is beautiful.
In Quechuan, Wiñay Wayna means "Forever Young". Often you will see the name of the site written as "Huinay Huayna", which is in Spanish. |
