Ha! The thought crossed my mind as I was typing, but I let it go because it really all hinged on the question of whether I can do HP with TdI as a base.... hence the TdI forum. but then thought -
"do I REALLY HAVE to do HP?"... hence the MP questions.
The iconic view of MP (the one in all the pictures) is from the Guard House, which is about 15mins climb from the entrance, less if you are really fit. I didn't climb either HP or Montana P but the pictures I saw taken from the tops were not as "iconic". There is no "view" of MP from the Sun Gate - it just looks like a ruin far away.
Ok. So no special tickets needed for iconic view. Sold!
If you need adventure, go climb the mountain OPPOSITE MP. I can't remember what it's called but you scale it by climbing vertical rope/wood ladders. I didn't even make it to the base because of time issues but that sounds like a lot of fun. Google it.
You might mean Putucusi.
Thanks again!
