Getting up early and sleeping is worthwhile! When you reach Machu Picchu via the Inca Trail and the Sonnentor, you will be in front of most tourists on the spot and have the opportunity to explore Machu Picchu in peace!
Heavy hike, about 45 minutes and extremely exhausting in the mountain air. But it's worth it! You see Machu Pichu from a different perspective and can take a break at the top.
