After the tour, take some free time to enjoy this spiritual wonder or choose an optional guided trek up to the sun gate (Intipunku), part of the Inca Trail, for a magical view of the sanctuary, or alternatively choose an unguided climb to the top of Wayna Picchu, with a magnificent view of the whole site.
