    Is tour 2 included in the Machu Picchu visit?

    Tour Details

      Ryan

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      But I would like to know if when visiting Machu Picchu, we take Circuito 2 - Circuito clásico, Ruta Clásico diseñada?

    • Vidal ExpeditionsOperatorWritten May 2025

      According of the regulations everyone who hikes on the Inca Trail can visit the upper platform of Machu Picchu (circuit 1) when they arrive from the Sun Gate, then re-enter to explore Machu Picchu through the circuit 3. So both makes similar of the Circuit 2, even better having the best view from the upper platform.
