How much is a Machu Picchu Circuit 2B ticket?

$65.10 per adult and $40.95 for children aged 3 to 17, card fee included. Children under 3 enter free.

2A if the postcard viewpoint matters most to you; 2B if you want the whole city and the date you need is gone on 2A. Inside the city both walk the same stops.

Can I still photograph the whole citadel on 2B?

You get many views from inside the city, but the elevated frame with Huayna Picchu behind the whole site is taken from the Lower Platform, which 2B does not visit. For that exact photo, book 2A or a Circuit 1 route.

Is 2B easier than 2A?

Slightly. It skips the climb up to the platform at the start. Inside the city the walk, the stairs and the one-way order are the same.

Why does it have the same price as 2A?

Because it is the same category of ticket: a city route with no mountain trail. The platform is the difference between them, and it does not change the price.
