- IMPORTANT information regarding entry to Machu Picchu: Throughout June and until July 15th, the Circuit 3 – Designed Route will be available, which is an alternative very similar to the traditional Circuit 2, allowing visitors to enjoy a very complete experience inside the sanctuary. With this route, you will be able to take the classic photo of Machu Picchu from the agricultural area and visit the main archaeological attractions, such as the main ruins, ceremonial plazas, temples, the House of the Inka, the House of the Condor, the Sacred Pyramid viewpoint, and the famous Three Windows. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes, allowing enough time to explore the most important areas of the site comfortably. In addition, this route helps avoid long queues and crowds, providing a more comfortable, organized, and enjoyable visit, allowing us to manage this process quickly and efficiently, helping you avoid long lines at the Machu Picchu ticket office and saving you valuable time during your visit. Please note that Circuit 3B offers a more extensive route within the citadel, allowing for a broader exploration of the main archaeological sectors and providing a more complete experience inside Machu Picchu.
- IMPORTANT: Once your booking is confirmed, please send us clear photos of all participants' passports via the Viator messaging system. This is essential to correctly issue your Machu Picchu entrance tickets and avoid any errors in names, dates of birth or passport numbers. This step is mandatory for all travelers. The selected start time is indicative and strictly subject to official ticket availability from the Ministry of Culture. Since entrance slots are limited, we will coordinate with you via the Viator messaging system to confirm your exact entry time. Please note: we need to verify your train schedule, or better yet, coordinate with us BEFORE you purchase your train tickets, as the Machu Picchu entrance must be secured first. We highly recommend contacting us to ensure a perfect match between your entry time and train schedule.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Machu Picchu Circuit 2 Entry Ticket and Private Official Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sacred Valley.
How much does Machu Picchu Circuit 2 Entry Ticket and Private Official Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $188 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sacred Valley usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Machu Picchu Circuit 2 Entry Ticket and Private Official Guide take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sacred Valley is not rushed.
Is Machu Picchu Circuit 2 Entry Ticket and Private Official Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Sacred Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Machu Picchu Circuit 2 Entry Ticket and Private Official Guide?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Machu Picchu Circuit 2 Entry Ticket and Private Official Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Machu Picchu Circuit 2 Entry Ticket and Private Official Guide?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sacred Valley can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sacred Valley and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Machu Picchu Circuit 2 Entry Ticket and Private Official Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sacred Valley within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sacred Valley?
+
On Outty we rank every Sacred Valley experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch, Private Professional Guide in Machu Picchu from Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu 2Day Tour by Train from Cusco with Overnight Stay. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sacred Valley?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sacred Valley?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
