Circuit 3, known as “The Royal Experience,” offers visitors the most comprehensive exploration of Machu Picchu’s noble sector. Here’s what makes this circuit special:
Pro Tip: Book your tickets well in advance, especially for Routes 3-A and 3-C, as they have limited daily capacity.
The journey begins in the agricultural sector, where you’ll witness the impressive agricultural terraces that sustained the ancient city. As you progress, you’ll reach the urban zone featuring the Temple of the Sun and other royal structures. The highlight is the challenging ascent to Waynapicchu Mountain, offering breathtaking views of the entire archaeological complex.
This route is specially designed to accommodate visitors with mobility challenges. A section of the circuit is wheelchair-accessible, making Machu Picchu’s wonders available to more visitors.
This route is exclusively available during high season, typically from April to October. The Great Cavern offers unique insights into Inca engineering and architecture.
While less challenging than Waynapicchu, Huchuypicchu offers equally stunning views of the citadel and surrounding landscape.
