About this experience
The Legendary Entrance: Unlike typical tourists who arrive by bus, you'll enter Machu Picchu on foot through Intipunku (Sun Gate), just as the Incas did 500 years ago.
Two Perspectives of the Citadel: You'll experience Machu Picchu twice. On the first day, you'll capture the classic postcard view from the upper sector (Circuit 1B), and on the second day, you'll thoroughly explore the temples and palaces of the Royal Route (Circuit 3B).
