Machu Picchu, the iconic Incan citadel, offers three main circuit options for visitors, each designed to enhance your experience while preserving this UNESCO World Heritage Site. These circuits vary in difficulty and highlight different attractions, helping to manage visitor flow and protect its historical significance. Choosing the right circuit depends on your personal interests, but here’s a breakdown to help you decide.
Note: Additional tickets are required for extra hikes like Machu Picchu Mountain, Huayna Picchu, and other key spots if your chosen circuit does not include viewing points.
Circuit 2 offers a comprehensive experience, blending historical, religious, and iconic viewpoints into one tour. It provides the perfect balance of panoramic views and detailed exploration of lower sections, including sacred structures and astronomical sites.
Machu Picchu in 2025 promises an unforgettable adventure. Whether you’re drawn to its spiritual energy, historical significance, or stunning scenery, selecting the right circuit ensures a fulfilling experience at one of the world’s greatest archaeological wonders.

Our porters personify hard work. We employ about 90 porters from local communities. They are mostly farmers by trade and are native Quechua speakers. They mainly come from the indigenous communities around the trail. We refer to our super porters as ¨Red Machine¨. This is because they work hard during the treks but carrying duffel bags, camping gear, and more! It is important to us that we employ porters from local villages because we are supporting them to become self-efficient and helping communities grow their economy to better the quality of lives. We provide the following items to our porters and cooks for free: Working insurance, Jacket, sun hat, warm hat, t-shirt, pants, hiking boots, comfortable duffle bags, canteen, girdle for protecting their spine, sleeping bags, mattress. Our porters are what make everything look seamless and smooth. They have your tent ready before your arrival in your tent and most importantly they significantly lighten that camping gear load.
