Huayna Picchu
Rising over the spectacular Machu Picchu citadel, is Huayna Picchu. Known as the "young peak", this mountain, set amid cloud forests, is the mountain in the background of all postcard shots of Machu Picchu. Athletic couples can hike the 4-day or 2-day long Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and then continue with a climb to the lush peak of Huayna Picchu.

For other couples who still want to witness the beauty of the area, just take a train from Cusco to Aguas Caliente and a bus from there to the ruins.
