Travel Guide
The most precise and up-to-date information about Machu Picchu, including the new 2022 regulations, the best time to visit, entrance fees, maps and much more.

Machu Picchu New Circuits 2022 – 20223
Peru’s Ministry of Culture and the Peruvian government have established new rules this 2022 for all visitors traveling to Machu Picchu.
Be aware of these new regulations and the new circuits before booking your Machu Picchu tour and choose the circuit that best suits your interests.
Machu Picchu now offers you 4 different circuits to visit it, some of them combined with Huayna Picchu Mountain and Machu Picchu.
The new circuits will allow you to visit all or only a part of the Inca city of Machu Picchu.
Why are there New Restrictions in Machu Picchu?
The reasons why the new circuits were established are to regulate the amount of visitors as well as to control the flow of traffic.
Machu Picchu Circuit #01
Circuit number 1 lets you visit Machu Picchu from the highest part of the Inca city. This route goes through the guardian’s house (from where the postcard photo of Machu Picchu is taken). It then goes through the main entrance to the urban and agricultural sector, connecting with the temple of the sun and the temple of the mirrors. From there onto the water mirrors to the lower sector and then back to the way out.
Machu Picchu Circuit #02
This circuit is similar to the first one with the addition of the Intiwatana or Sundial, the Sacred Rock and the Temple of the Condor. This is the most complete tour and is highly recommended for those interested in exploring the citadel in full.
Machu Picchu Circuit #03
Visit the sector of the Qolqas (warehouses), terraces, the House of the Inca, the Water Fountains, and the Plaza Pisonae. This is the combined route with the visit to the Machu Picchu mountain. This circuit is specially suggested for people with limited mobility.
Machu Picchu Circuit #04
The route for circuit 4 is quite similar to the third circuit with the addition of the Sacred Rock, the qolqas or warehouses, the temple of the water mirrors, the temple of the Condor. This is the route that is combined with the Huayna Picchu Mountain hike. This circuit only passes through the lower sector, which leads to the back of the citadel.
Climate & Weather at Machu Picchu
As Machu Picchu is located at the intersection of the Andes and the Amazon, it has a mild subtropical climate which offers warm days and cooler nights. Humidity is also higher than in the Sacred Valley and Cusco.
The high season for Machu Picchu is from June, July, August to September. These months match the dry season in the region, when sunny conditions are more likely and are considered by many to be the best time to go to Machu Picchu.

Best Peru Tour Company
Cannot say enough great things about Tour My Peru Company. Juan Carlos is fantastic, super knowledgable, tells the best stories - both historical, and mythical (or are they!?) I have toured with them a couple of times now and they never disappoint. They are able to personalize to exactly what you're looking for, offer a more "local" experience and visit the off the beaten trail places as well as deliver an amazing trip to Machu Picchu!

Carlitos is a great guide
I did the 4-day Inca Trail with my then fiancee and friends with Carlitos as our guide. He is very knowledgable with the history of the trail and gave us technical tips on how to hike better as well. Would recommend Carlitos as your guide!

Sacred Valley Tour
My friends and I took the Sacred Valley Tour from Ollantaytambo and had a great time! The pacing was perfect. Half of us had altitude sickness and the other half did not but all of us were able to enjoy our day. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very attentive. I highly recommend the tour!
