Itinerary Notes
Machu Picchu regulations requite all visitors to follow a pre-determined circuit within the site as a way to prevent overcrowding. The circuit-specific entrance tickets are available on a first come, first served basis. While we endeavour to purchase permits for the whole group on the same circuit, this is not always possible, especially for last minute bookings. All circuits offer the opportunity to enjoy the beauty, history, and impressive ingenuity of this ancient site. To note: Travellers completing the Inca Trail will enter Machu Picchu via the Sun Gate with a guided tour taking place on circuit 3.
