Machu Picchu Circuits
Since 2024, entry to Machu Picchu is organized into three official circuits with fixed routes. Here's what you should know:
Upper-section route with the classic panoramic views: the postcard photo from the Guardian's House. Ideal for those seeking the best shots of the sanctuary.
The most complete: combines the upper panoramic view with the urban sector (temples and squares). The most popular route and the one included in our packages.
Lower urban-sector route: temples, terraces and squares at the foot of the citadel. Does not include the classic upper panoramic view.
Our packages include Circuit 2 (classic) by default, subject to availability. We recommend booking 2 to 3 months in advance. If it sells out, we reassign to Circuit 1 or 3, always guaranteeing your entry to Machu Picchu.
