"Stairs on the clouds!" Machu Picchu Off The Beaten Path Tip by kzapanta

Machu Picchu Off The Beaten Path: 38 reviews and 46 photos

 
 

On top of Huayan Picchu, right after climbing thru the cave, look to your right towards the cliff. You will see a building with three levels. The building is built overhanging the cliff!

The amazing part is (look at the photo), there are stairs stuck to the side of the wall of the building and it looks and feels like you are walking on air (or in our fortunate case, walking on the clouds). It's a great adventure and feeling but make sure not to stumble or you will fall off the stair, directly off the cliff.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
