Hiking
The "ladders of death" are part of the stone stairway built by the Incas that lead to the top of Huayna Picchu.
This staircase is characterized by being steep and difficult to climb. Also, the stairs are on the edge of abyss views. Despite its name, no tourist has lost their life there.
After climbing this route, you reach the top of the Huayna Picchu mountain.

The climb was extremely steep...if you choose too high a pace and depending on your luggage and previous load (Inca Trail) you will quickly experience strong signs of fatigue...very painful thighs...take it easy and slowly
