A helpful and trustworthy tour operator
We booked our entrance tickets, bus transfers, and guide for our visit to Machu Picchu through Inca Trail Matchu Picchu Agency. Since we do not speak Spanish, doing this through the Ministry’s official website would have been too complicated—plus, that site crashes constantly. However, we placed our order three months in advance. As a result, everything went smoothly. We received all our tickets and other documents in good time. This company is trustworthy and professional. The communication was friendly and prompt. We recommend them 100%!

Machu Picchu tour
When I started looking to buy tickets to Machu Picchu, the bus and guides, I became very frustrated. I found this company and was relieved from my frustration. They purchased the correct circuits for us at Machu Picchu, our bus tickets and arranged for our guides. They had someone meet ussst the train, guide us to our hotel, tell us where to meet our bus and guides and basically cleared up all the confusion associated with independent travel. We had the same guide, Samuel, for 2 days. He guided us on Circuit 2A the first day. The second day we walked through Circuit 3A and met Samuel at the base of the Huayna Picchu trail. He guided us up Huayna Picchu, kept us safe, and told is all the amazing things about the mountain. We feel blessed to have found this company and Samuel to make our experience wonderful!

Essencial Information
How Are Circuit 2A and Circuit 2B Different??
Circuit 2 Machu Picchu is divided into two routes: 2A and 2B. Both routes follow the same path from the control entrance of Machu Picchu. After entering, you will walk uphill from the main gate toward the high point known as the Guardian House.
Before reaching the Guardian House, near a staircase, the trail splits into two routes. Route 2A continues to the left, while Route 2B goes to the right.
From this point, both routes allow you to enter and explore the Inca citadel. On Route 2B, if you look up, you will see two upper terraces where the Guardian House is located. From here, you will start your exploration.
If you choose Route 2A, you will continue walking uphill for about 5 more minutes to reach the esplanade. From there, you can observe the Inca cemetery area, the Guardian House, and enjoy the classic panoramic view of Machu Picchu.
Is the Circuit 2 Machu Picchu route worth it?
Yes, it is worth it. These routes allow you to explore the entire Inca citadel from the entrance point for approximately three hours. You can take some of the most beautiful photos along the circuit and visit important sites such as the Temple, the Main Plaza, the Sacred Rock, and other significant areas.
Is It Worth It to Hire a Guide for This Route?
Yes, Circuit 2 Machu Picchu allows you to explore the entire Inca citadel. If it is your first time visiting Machu Picchu and you choose this route, we highly recommend hiring a professional tour guide. A guide will lead you through the entire citadel, ensuring you don’t miss any important sites.
Our professional guides will help you understand the history and cultural significance of Machu Picchu. You will gain a deeper understanding of the mysteries of this ancient city and its impressive engineering achievements, as well as its spiritual importance, which makes this extraordinary site so unique.
Which Machu Picchu Tour Is Best for These Circuits?
Machu Picchu is the top attraction in Peru. You can reach this iconic site through trekking, hiking, adventure experiences, or traditional tours.
If you are planning to visit Machu Picchu, you can choose from a wide variety of tour options. The most popular option is taking the train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo) and visiting the citadel the following day. These tours are commonly known as Machu Picchu Tours from Lima or simply Machu Picchu Tours.
For travelers who enjoy trekking and hiking, Cusco offers breathtaking landscapes, including mountains, glaciers, and impressive Inca ruins. The most famous hike is the Inca Trail, followed by the Salkantay Trek, Lares Trek, and the Inca Quarry Trail.
If you would like to explore deeper into the remote Andes, we recommend the Vilcabamba Trek or the Choquequirao Trek to Machu Picchu (9 days), considered one of the most beautiful and less-traveled Inca routes.
For adventure lovers, the Inca Jungle Trek is the perfect choice. This exciting route includes rafting, biking, hiking, ziplining, and finally visiting Machu Picchu.
We recommend visiting our TOURS & TREKKING section, where you can find the best options to visit Machu Picchu. Once you choose your tour, our team will help you select the best circuit for your visit.
What should you bring with you to Machu Picchu?
Whether you take a tour of Machu Picchu or visit on your own, it is important to consider the months you plan to travel.
If you visit from January to March, be sure to bring a rain jacket or poncho, as well as extra clothes in case you get wet.
If you’re traveling between April and the first week of August, bring a rain poncho in case the weather suddenly changes. You should also bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and a light jacket. Machu Picchu is not very cold because it is located at an elevation of 2,300 meters in the subtropical zone of Cusco. However, it is much colder when returning to Cusco due to the higher altitude.
From August to December, the weather changes again as the rainy season approaches. The weather can vary from day to day. Machu Picchu is often covered in fog in the morning, but the fog usually clears over time, revealing marvelous and spectacular views, especially from Circuit 1 and Circuit 2.
How heavy should your backpack be?
If you are taking the train to Machu Picchu or traveling from the Sacred Valley, only pack what is necessary for a two-day trip. Your daypack should be between 12 and 16 liters.
If you are doing one of the Machu Picchu hikes, contact your tour operator to confirm whether a duffel bag is included. If not, bring a 20- to 25-liter backpack to carry your hiking clothes and other personal equipment. Some tour operators include all necessary equipment.
