SUN GATE: It is a short hike up from the ruins and is always available and free. This is a wonderful place to visit with amazing views of Machu Picchu.
HUAYNA PICCHU MOUNTAIN: The most famous additional climb to do while in there, that provides spectacular views of the ruins and surrounding area. This must be booked in advance and costs an additional USD25 per person. The climb takes 45 minutes and is moderately difficult.
MACHU PICCHU MOUNTAIN: Another great option to climb up and see the ruins from down below. 1.5 hours of a steep climb, it can be very physically demanding. Additional USD25 per person and usually does not sell out. This is probably the most spectacular of all views, but all three options are very nice and will allow you to take excellent photos.
