The ticket: route 3C
Route 3C starts at the Temple of the Sun viewpoint, crosses the lower city to the Sacred Rock and then takes the trail that drops down the far side of Huayna Picchu to the Great Cavern. It is the longest walk of all the routes, which is why the ticket allows up to 7 hours inside. It costs $78 per adult, with entries at 8 and 9 AM.
Route 3C does not include the climb to the summit of Huayna Picchu; that is route 3A. 3C goes around the back of the mountain to the cave.
