EXPEDITION OVERVIEW

Machu Picchu has 3 new circuits, each divided into routes to make your experience worthwhile, thus offering 10 different entry tickets, preventing crowding at certain points of the archaeological site. If you are interested in Machu Picchu Tours from Cusco, we recommend considering the different circuits to make the most of your visit.

The circuit 2 is the most complete and recommended, as it covers most of the interior of Machu Picchu, besides allowing you to take the iconic photo that will immortalize your trip and gives you the opportunity to enjoy many more archaeological sites such as the Temple Plaza, the Intiwatana, and the Sacred Rock.

It is important to note that being the most recommended, the demand is higher, so reservations must be made at least 6 months in advance.

This circuit is subdivided into 2 different routes that allow you to visit the interior of Machu Picchu:

  • Route 2-A: Classic Designed: With this ticket, you can visit most of Machu Picchu, plus get the classic photo of Machu Picchu from the Guardian House. You will visit places like the Sun Temple Lookout, the Sacred Rock, and the Condor Temple.

Fantastic day spent with Dilser!!!

Dilser has excellent English skills and completely helped us understand everything that we had questions about.

Visited Temple of the Moon, lunch in Trujillo, followed by Chan Chan. Not once during the day did we feel rushed or like we were asking too many questions.

I can’t emphasize the quality of this tour - his patience with our questions, knowledge of the historical and archeological processes involved, as well as his local expertise far surpass many other tours we have been on. At times, we felt like we were with a celebrity - he is well known and locals always smile when he comes around.

Highly recommend Dilser and Norte Expedition Tours if you are in the Trujillo and Huanchaco region.

Excellent tour with Dilsar, who was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke very good English, and made the archeological sites around Trujillo come alive for us during our all-day tour. 100% recommended.

Just had a tour with Dilsar Alfaro Oliva. We visited Chan Chan and the Temple of the Moon. It was a brilliant day. Dilser made the places come alive. His knowledge was extensive and he was incredibly interesting. We would highly recommend having him as a guide.

We had a great time visiting El Brujo and the Museo Cao with Dilser. He's very knowledgeable, with a lot of info for us and very nice to speak slower because my Spanish is so limited. I actually learnt a lot about Peru and I would encourage more travellers to see the north!
