CIRCUITS OF MACHU PICCHU
What are the Circuits of Machu Picchu? How many circuits are there in Machu picchu? Are there new Circuits in the Machu Picchu Citadel?
Faced to the number of questions that national and international visitors ask themselves when they want to book their entry ticket to Machu Picchu, we find ourselves with the need to be able and resolve their doubts by perhaps answering all the questions regarding the theme of the New Circuits of Machu Picchu.
The tourist influx in the Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu is increasing more and more every year, this could be the main reason why new circuits had to be opened, without forgetting of course that the Covid-19 Pandemic also had to influence such a decision, we could say that until 2018, visitors could visit many points of the Inca Citadel without having any limitations, today the opposite happens, in addition to having closed some important points of the citadel for prevention reasons, unique circuits have been opened, this also implies the limited time of stay in the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. Now we will dedicate to detail and describe the different circuits in the Citadel.
Circuit 1.- It is the one that allows you to climb to the upper platform, so you can enjoy the classic view of the Machu Picchu Inca Citadel, then you are allowed to get in the same citadel through the main gate (Llaqtapunku), However, the visitor who takes this option is prevented from visiting some points such as the main square, the condor temple, the temple of the three windows, the sacred rock, intiwatana and of course access to the Huchuypicchu and Huaynapicchu Mountains.
Circuit 2.- Perhaps the most indicated and recommended when booking your ticket, this is due to the great coverage allowed in the Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu. The visitor who chooses to book this circuit must necessarily do so well in advance due to the interest of many in obtaining this income.
Circuit 3.- This is a quite special circuit, the visitor who is on this circuit is because they have done the Inca Trail in any of its versions, or otherwise they had to obtain it as a last alternative when they could not get the tickets for previous circuits. This circuit also includes access to Machu Picchu Mountain.
Circuit 4.- This is a good purchase option, despite not having access to the upper platform from where you have the classic view of the Machu Picchu Citadel, this ticket allows you access and ascent to the Huaynapicchu Mountain or Huchuypicchu Mountain, in both cases with a very unusual view.
Finally, if you need to know all about Machu Picchu Mountain or Huaynapicchu Mountain, we have an article dedicated to each of them, read and get enough information to skip some annoying inconveniences.
