Rising to the east of Machu Picchu, Putucusi Mountain is the perfect off-the-beaten-track escape from the crowds. With forested slopes and near-vertical cliff faces, hiking to the summit requires a moderate level of fitness, but the 3.5-hour round trip excursion on steep rock steps and wooden ladders offers spectacular aerial views over the magnificent ruins and the town of Aguas Calientes.
