Machu Picchu Circuits: How is the visit inside the citadel?

Tours in Machu Picchu: Which one should you choose for your visit?

Machu Picchu offers three circuits designed to explore different areas of the sanctuary and appreciate its grandeur from various perspectives.

Recommendation: Circuit 2 is the most popular, so it is recommended to book in advance. If you are looking for more flexibility, circuits 1 and 3 usually have more availability and can be booked less in advance.

This is the most complete option, as it combines a panoramic view with access to temples, squares and other key sectors. To ensure a place, it is essential to book 2 to 3 months in advance, as demand is high and spaces are limited.
