Description
This tour is one of our best Peru travel deals. Visit Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca on our 9 Day Best of Peru tour package. Peru is a country with splendid diversity in both its nature and culture. On this incredible 9 day tour you will experience one of the 7 wonders of the Modern World; Machu Picchu. Shrouded by mist, located on lush flora, Machu Picchu is a heavenly sight that lives up to every expectation. On this tour, you will also visit the highlights of fascinating Capital Lima, known as the “City of Kings”. Explore the dizzy heights of Cusco, a city in the Peruvian Andes that was once capital of the Inca Empire. Cusco is now known for its archaeological remains and Spanish colonial architecture.
Visit Aguas Calientes, a small town which is the gateway to Machu Picchu. Surrounded by natural thermal hot springs, Aguas Calientes (meaning hot water) is the perfect place to rest the weary legs. A highlight of the tour is sailing to the extraordinary Uros Floating Islands on Lake Titicaca and a homestay on Taquile Island.

MACHU PICCHU CIRCUITS
To help protect and preserve Machu Picchu, all visitors must follow a designated circuit through the archaeological site. Each circuit provides access to different viewpoints, terraces, temples and historic areas.
Your tour will include either Circuit 2A, Circuit 2B or Circuit 3B, subject to availability when your entrance ticket is secured.
CIRCUIT 2A – CLASSIC DESIGNED ROUTE:
Circuit 2A is one of the most popular and comprehensive options for first-time visitors.
The route includes access to the upper terraces, where you can enjoy the famous panoramic view of Machu Picchu, followed by a closer exploration of
the archaeological site, including several of its main temples and historic areas.
This route involves more walking, steps and climbing than Circuits 2B and 3B.
CIRCUIT 2B – LOWER TERRACE ROUTE:
Circuit 2B provides an extensive visit through the Machu Picchu citadel and includes many of its important archaeological areas.
The route offers panoramic views from a lower terrace rather than the elevated classic viewpoint included on Circuit 2A. It involves a moderate amount of walking along established pathways and steps.
CIRCUIT 3B – ROYALTY DESIGNED ROUTE:
Circuit 3B explores the lower urban and royal areas of Machu Picchu.
The route includes areas such as the House of the Inca, the Temple of the Condor and the Water Mirrors.
This route generally involves less climbing and physical effort, making it a suitable option for travellers with limited mobility or those who prefer a more relaxed visit.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Machu Picchu entrance tickets are strictly limited, and the most popular circuits can sell out several months in advance.
Your specific circuit and entrance time cannot be guaranteed before booking. These details will be confirmed after your reservation has been made and the entrance ticket has been secured by the local supplier.
All circuits provide opportunities to photograph Machu Picchu; however, the viewpoints and archaeological areas visited will depend on the circuit confirmed.
Circuit routes, entrance times and access conditions are controlled by the local authorities and may change without notice.
