Highlights
- Circuit 3, the Royalty Tour, delivers sacred Incan wonders at an easy pace, with the choice to hike nearby peaks or explore hidden caves.
- Explore Inca rituals at the Sun Temple’s solstice shrine, the Condor Temple’s sacred altar, and the Three Windows’ storytelling stones.
- Expect a mix of uneven stone steps and open terraces. It’s the easiest route inside Machu Picchu, but you can upgrade for a tougher, high-altitude adventure.
- Take it further—trek Huaynapicchu’s famous steps, hike Huchuypicchu for a moderate climb, or reach the Great Cavern, an Incan temple tucked in the cliffs.
Your Experience
Footsteps of Incan royalty
Step into the sacred heart of Machu Picchu, where Incan nobility once roamed. This circuit leads you through the most revered spaces of the citadel—the Temple of the Sun, where the Incas tracked celestial events, the Temple of the Condor, shaped like the bird of the Andes, and the Temple of Three Windows, believed to represent the three realms of Incan cosmology. Meander through the House of the Inca, where royalty resided, and the Sacred Rock, a spiritual marker aligned with the peaks beyond. With stone terraces beneath your feet and centuries of history surrounding you, you’ll experience Machu Picchu in its most regal light—all with a pace that lets you truly soak it in. And here’s a fun detail: The Temple of the Sun was once covered in gold sheets, making it a literal beacon of divine power. Talk about blinding devotion!
Tailor your adventure
Not all paths are created equal, and Circuit 3 gives you options. Stick to the designed route for an immersive exploration of Inca royalty’s most sacred spaces, or take things up a notch with an added trek. Huaynapicchu challenges you with a steep ascent to breathtaking views, while Huchuypicchu offers a milder climb with equally rewarding vistas. Want mystery? The Great Cavern (Temple of the Moon) awaits, a hidden sanctuary carved into the mountainside. Each option deepens your connection to Machupicchu, revealing hidden stories that many travelers miss.
