If you are in good physical condition it will take approximately 45mins to reach the top and the view is fantastic. This is not an easy trek and is dangerous in parts, even more so in the rain. It includes steep steps with cables & railings to help. Close to the top there is a small tunnel through which you will squeeze through (waist size permitting). There are also some Inca temples and agro-terraces near the top and on visiting them you will see there is an alternative route down which leads to some other ruins, Temple of the moon, built inside a cave and thought to have been the abode of high priests and local virgins. The summit can get crowded and can be dangerous so take care not to fall off! If you choose to return by the same route you need 2 hours +
