When people branch off to hike huayna picchu, does the rest of the group have to wait around for them to be done? Or do we continue with our itinerary. If we were to ride the train back down to aguas calientes, when we arrive there do we have to wait for the remainder of the group to walk down? Meaning we would be waiting there for an additionall 2.5 hours before starting the 6 hour bus ride back to cusco? Or is it possible to start our journey back as soon as we arrive in aguas calientes?

while they go up the huaynapicchu mountain, the rest can return before to the town of machu picchu. The transport departs at 2:30 pm from hydroelectrica to Cusco, those who walk with those who take the train, will arrive just for the departure of the train. it will not be necessary to wait.

Great experience of a lifetime! The guides were great. I was a bit slower on the hike with my group, and the guides never rushed me and always took their time with me.

Carlos was an amazing tour guide. The hotel pick up and train ride was well planned and ran smoothly. He was very helpful throughout the tour and taught us many things about the Inca way of life and community. Hotel and dinner for the night was amazing! Highly recommend this tour company
