The Temple of the Three Windows and the Temples Plaza

The religious heart of Machu Picchu is a plaza of temples, and its best-known wall has three openings looking east. Here is where it is on the visit, and the only two tickets that pass it.

Which tickets pass it

The Temples Plaza is a stop on route 2A and route 2B, between the Granitic Chaos and the Intiwatana Pyramid. Both routes walk the whole city one way, up to 2 h 30, for $62. Circuit 1 stays on the upper platforms and Circuit 3 covers the lower part of the city, so neither passes the plaza.
