As someone with a bad case of acrophobia, there's no way I'd manage this trek. But I so appreciate being able to see it from behind the camera. Thanks for sharing!

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated...

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

You two ROCK! Holy cow... the stairs, heights, lack of hand rails and the thought of altitude were making me breathe hard here at sea level in Southern California. Awesome job on hiking and the video!!

[@TheLaughingLion]

Wow that was crazy steep especially near the peak!!! Once in a lifetime experience! 👀☝🏻☝🏻

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Thanks very much, it was an experience we will never forget...

[@CamCartoon]

Wow! That is absolutely fantastic! Beautiful view of Machu Picchu! Thanks for sharing the places where I've never been to. Amazing travels!

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Thank you too for watching...

[@jtuds]

I regret not going up there when I had the chance! What an amazing view…and not nearly as crowded as Machu Picchu. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to go back and do it

[@bobbyd7043]

I'm heading there next week, hope not to have that regret.. wish me luck!!!!

[@CDubsJourney]

Make you sign in... in case you tumble down or off the side? Great views But that climb.. wow! Good job guys! 👍's up from grey to blue. Great upload! 😃

[@PaintingStepByStep]

Absolutely amazing landscape. Loved scenic beauty. I liked Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu so much. I think, i should paint this one.

omg finally ive been waiting for this.. look at how beautiful this place is! - truly a stunning place elaine simon :D

[@macbitz]

Well done! Even if I could manage the heights, I don't think I'll ever be fit enough to make that climb. You should be proud of yourselves 👍🏼

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Thank you, it was more of a challenge too, having done it the day after we'd completed the four day Inca Trail! Great memories! Kind regards, Simon

[@honestdelivery]

Great video. I remember doing the climb myself a good number of years ago. Incredible views. Great climb up as well.

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for watching...

[@honestdelivery]

@@unowhotravelchannel It reminded me of the time I did it. Great channel too.

[@annquirk345]

Climbed both Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain a few months ago, but chickened out of Huayna Picchu due to the lack of handrails and narrow stairs. Thank you for this video! It was awesome to see because it was beautiful (you're both brave!), and it reinforced how I made the right decision (for me) 🙂.

[@arizonatimelesstourist846]

What an absolutely awesome adventure. The views were AMAZING! Love the video.

[@EngPheniks]

we rarely get to see Machu Picchu from a different angle. so you guys did a great job.

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Thank you so much, appreciated...

[@valeriebenson8770]

I climbed the steps of death. It is dangerous if you are going down because you have to look over your shoulder to get proper footing . It is an awesome 1500 ft drop if you slip and miss the 2 inch ledge.I nearly had a heart attack!

[@unowhotravelchannel]

It's definitely an experience! Many thanks for watching and commenting

[@MariaGutierrez-eh5ft]

What an amazing experience; awesome footage of your hike; keep it up; great vibes only

Those stairs... i could never even for 1million, scared of heights! But well done for doing it... those views from the top are sensational

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Ha ha, yes, I (Simon) don't like heights either, but it was a once in a lifetime opportunity...many thanks for watching, kind regards

[@Queenofkitchen]

Wow...that's amazing, beautiful place, lovely, stay blessed both of u, big thumbs up

[@QuentinNeill]

Well done video! This is worth the time to watch. It’s not just click bait, but a well crafted introduction to the beautiful and exotic hike up to the top of Huayna Picchu.

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Does what it says on the tin, so to speak! Thanks so much for watching, appreciate your kind comment too, regards, Simon

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Looked really steep steps going up with some big drops! Stunning on the top though! Really enjoyed watching these videos from your Peru trip. Great stuff! Cheers. Eddie.

Thank you guys, very kind! This was definitely a highlight of our travels in Peru, we would recommend it highly...

[@LivingCoast2Coast]

That looks really Dangerous to me I wouldn't dare to climb those stairs. It I was your guide I would at least wait for you. When I read the title I thought "I have to watch this" and you wasn't kidding they are stairs of DEATH lol _Kaylla

[@transitvandoors]

Great travel video, stayed for a full watch and like. Such an amazing place very envious of anyone who has visited.

[@brianrainey3366]

I was really looking forward to this one. So very beautiful, what an amazing view from the top. But that would have scared me, the trail was so narrow and old. Did you ever get scared while going to the top? Congratulations on making up, very beautiful. Your guide was really quick. Amazing video, looking forward to the Railway video.

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Brian Rainey Thank you, Simon doesn’t like heights but coped regardless! 😀👍

[@sandrafield9813]

Holy moly this is gorgeous! Gave me a panic attack just watching it, but still gorgeous! lol Good gosh, you guys don't act 51 AT ALL! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing family trips. I have been exploring Peru during my breaks at grad school. My dad was a Peruvian immigrant (to the USA). He always wanted to take me, but passed away before we could go together. It truly means the world to me to get to see it like this. So, thanks :)

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Thank you so much for watching our time here, hope you can still get to go one day, kind regards, Simon

[@antoinearnellpalomo8583]

I hiked this trek and it took me 2 hours to do it because I stopped every now and then to appreciate the plants, nature, and took pictures of the scenery. And it only took me 30 minutes to go down. Hahaha.

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Thanks for watching, it’s a unique hike, glad you enjoyed it👍

[@flat36v8]

Great video! Me and my son did that in 2018, went to the top and around the backside to the Temple De Luna the big cave, super long and tiring hike but so so worth it! Oh I wanna go back so bad!

[@unowhotravelchannel]

flat36v8 Thank you so much for watching and commenting, it’s a wonderful place isn’t it? Our travels have unfortunately stopped for the time being but got the right reasons👍

[@flowerpotman1683]

Those must of been the steps I've heard so much about, narrow and steep towards the top. Easy going up but what was it like coming down, not the sort of place to have a trip.

[@VinsAnnetteSingh]

Amazing video enjoyed watching till the end Thanks for sharing Stay safe

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Thanks guys, hope you’re well👍

Wow! I’m so privileged to see that awesome view. The trails a little bit scary with the cliff on the side. Thank you so much for sharing. Kind regards, #GlimpseofJapan

[@emimantilla8582]

I LOVED CUSCO FROM AUSTRALIA

[@JugglinJellyTake01]

Went there in 2002 absolutely amazing place when the sun comes up early in the morning and the mist and clouds slowly disperse and the mountain peaks start to appear through the mist as though levitating a kilometre or more higher than Machu Picchu. It is the scale of the mountains that make you realise why so many cultures view them as being alive and having spirits. Recommend not going to South America for 2 to 4 weeks, go for 6 months or a year or more, less flying more seeing and slower assent to adapt to the altitude. It is one thing climbing them or being one of the guides that carry three haversacks but cutting and building those steps and terraces would be some job. The skill in cutting the stones is astounding. Another scary part is how the terraces seem to descend and disappear towards the precipice away from Machu Picchu in a kind of reverse blind summit. Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca is nice walk too, well worth staying on the island for the night.

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Hi Jon, thanks so much for watching and your great comments! Once we are retired, we would love to spend more time in South America, definitely on the cards! Kind regards, Simon

[@missella6295]

Before when I was young I love to hike not only for my health recovery but I love to go higher mountains like I can reach the sky. But for now I can walk only because of my heart problem. God bless and always take care.

[@wristcheck350]

The stamina is incredible. I don't think I could do this without at least a month of training.

​@@unowhotravelchannelid love this but my dad's 60 so I don't want to risk it. And my wife could do most of this slowly but at 5:13 I realized no fkn way she'd do it. I'm still exited, we have 2 weeks in Peru 🇵🇪 We'll be plenty busy
