Here you will have a guided tour of all the most important sites of the Machu Picchu Citadel: houses, temples, squares, and terraces, among others. It takes about two hours and half, followed by free time to explore the citadel on your own.
Our first choice is Circuit 2 whenever it is available, as it provides one of the most complete guided experiences at Machu Picchu. If Circuit 2 is sold out for your selected date and time, we will secure the best available alternative, usually Circuit 1 or Circuit 3.
