CIRCUITO 1: La Ruta de las Vistas Panorámicas
«Para quienes sueñan con la postal perfecta y el aire puro de las alturas. Una ruta diseñada para contemplar la inmensidad de Machu Picchu desde sus mejores ángulos, sin prisa y con la mejor luz.»
Plataforma Superior: El punto más alto permitido. Aquí es donde el tiempo se detiene y la ciudadela se rinde a sus pies para la foto de su vida.
Mirador de la Casa del Guardián: El ángulo clásico. Capture la armonía entre las montañas y la arquitectura Inca desde el lugar más icónico.
Sector Agrícola y Terrazas: Camine entre los andenes que desafían la gravedad, descubriendo el ingenio de los Incas para dominar la montaña.
Vistas al Huayna Picchu: El mejor punto para admirar la silueta del «Cigarrón» y entender por qué este lugar fue elegido como centro sagrado.

El Corazón del Imperio: La Ruta Completa (Circuito 2)
«No solo visite Machu Picchu, siéntalo. Este recorrido está diseñado para quienes buscan la experiencia definitiva: desde la foto postal que soñó toda su vida hasta los secretos mejor guardados de la arquitectura Inca. Olvídese de las prisas y las aglomeraciones; caminaremos a su ritmo, asegurando que cada paso valga la pena y que cada rincón le revele su historia antes de que el sol cambie de posición.»

Templo del Sol: Maravíllese con la perfección del torreón semicircular, donde los Incas «amarraban» los rayos del sol en cada solsticio.
La Cantera: El caos de piedra antes de la perfección. Descubra cómo movieron bloques gigantes como si fueran de papel.

Terrazas de la Realeza: Un paseo por los jardines y andenes que rodeaban la zona más exclusiva de la ciudadela.
Templo del Sol (Desde la base): Admire la curvatura perfecta de la piedra desde abajo, una obra maestra de ingeniería astronómica que lo dejará sin aliento.
La Casa del Inca: Entre en la intimidad del emperador. Explore las habitaciones, baños y patios donde Pachacútec descansaba y gobernaba.
Espejos de Agua: Observe los morteros de piedra donde los sabios Incas estudiaban el cielo y las estrellas reflejadas en el agua.

How to Hire a Guide for Machu Picchu

Hiring a guide for Machu Picchu can completely transform your visit. While the site is impressive on its own, understanding its history, symbolism, and hidden details requires expert knowledge. With regulated circuits and limited visiting time, a professional guide helps you make the most of every moment inside the citadel.

When purchasing a Machu Picchu entrance ticket, it is essential to choose the correct circuit, as each one offers a different experience within the archaeological site. Making the right choice helps avoid frustration and ensures you get the most out of your visit.

Circuit 1 – Panoramic Circuit

This circuit is designed to offer wide, panoramic views of the Inca City of Machu Picchu and its surrounding sacred mountains, which were deeply connected to Andean deities. Circuit 1 leads visitors to the highest areas of Machu Picchu through narrow paths and scenic viewpoints.

It includes four different routes within the same circuit, each offering a unique perspective of the citadel. While each route requires a different level of physical effort, all of them reward visitors with extraordinary landscapes, impressive viewpoints beyond the classic photo, and a deep appreciation of Inca architecture and its harmony with nature.

Routes within Circuit 1

  • Route 1-A: Machu Picchu Mountain Route
  • Route 1-B: Upper Terrace Route
  • Route 1-C: Intipunku (Sun Gate) Route (available only during high season)
  • Route 1-D: Inca Bridge Route (available only during high season)

Circuit 2 – Classic Circuit

Circuit 2 combines access to the mid-level agricultural terraces with a complete visit to the urban area of the Inca City of Machu Picchu. This is the most comprehensive circuit and the one most recommended for first-time visitors.

Visitors walk through structures that served as residences, ceremonial spaces, and astronomical observation points. Circuit 2 includes two internal routes, both requiring a moderate level of physical effort and offering the classic Machu Picchu experience.

Routes within Circuit 2

  • Route 2-A: Classic Designed Route
  • Route 2-B: Lower Terrace Route

Josefina e Edison trouxeram uma experiência incrível para a nossa visita para Machu Picchu. Josefina além de falar português para não ajudar a compreender todas as informações, foi bem solicita indo até nós para garantir que as informações foram bem passadas e que nos deixou bem seguros dos servidos de guia. Além da variadade de guia que tinham disponíveis ao momento do contato. Edison foi surreal! Suas explicações deixaram a experiência mais magnifica, pois detalhou sobre todas as histórias do local e trouxe uma conexão maior com o ambiente. Todos sempre disponíveis para nos ajudar. Recomendo os serviços caso esteja precisando de algum guia para fazer o percursos de Machu Picchu.

Abbiamo fatto un tour guidato nel percorso 1, ottima esperienza! La nostra guida è stata super disponibile, è venuta la sera prima in hotel per darci le indicazioni base sul tour, poi la mattina ci siamo incontrati in fila per il bus e ha preso con noi il bus. È stato molto utile per capire la storia del luogo!

Nilo was a fantastic guide, we learnt so much about Machu Picchu and he made it interesting and entertaining for my 9 year old daughter as well - so we all had a great experience. The company were responsive and helpful from beginning to end and it was easy to be in contact via WhatsApp. I would highly recommend booking a guide with them.

Excellent explanation, it was more than a guide who accompanied us, it was a person who reads and investigates, he was the best person who could accompany us on the tour.

Erika Baez 23/09/2019

I can assure you that no one has ever gone as far explaining one of the most impressive places I have visited in my entire life.

Rosa Arconada Gracias Yersy

I totally recommend them. They’re an incredible team. Our guide, Sara, is a professional in every sense of the word and a delightful person. They helped us get our tickets to Machu Picchu. Their kindness and understanding made us feel right at home. Thank you all. We came from Bolivia planning the trip, and we were a little worried about getting tickets last minute, given the roadblocks in Cusco. They were always available 24 hours a day. Thank you for everything. Hugs from Bolivia. We wish you all the best.
