How much is the Circuit 3B Premium ticket?

$257.25 per adult and $191.10 for children aged 3 to 17, card fee included. The price covers entry on route 3B, a licensed guide for the 2 h 30 visit and a flexible entry window from 6 AM to 3 PM.

What is the difference between Circuit 2 and Circuit 3?

Circuit 2 starts at the upper platform, the postcard viewpoint, and then walks the whole city. Circuit 3 skips the platform and walks only the lower royal sector: shorter, with less climbing, and usually easier to book.

How much does a Machu Picchu guide cost?

With our standard tickets a licensed guide is an optional $40 at checkout. With 3B Premium the guide is already in the price, so there is nothing to add.

Is Premium a different route?

No. It is Circuit 3B — the lower royal sector — with a guide included and a flexible entry window. If you want the full city or the postcard platform, that is Circuit 2A.

What does the guide cover?

A licensed bilingual (English/Spanish) guide for the 2 h 30 visit. The guide is already included, so with Premium there is nothing to add at checkout.

Why is it so much more expensive?

You are paying for the guide and for entry on dates and at times when the standard slots are gone. If your date is flexible, a standard $65.10 ticket plus a $40 guide is the better deal.
