KEY VIEWS OF MACHU PICCHU

If you want to visit Machu Picchu with fewer visitors and stay at least one night in Machu Picchu Pueblo, also known as Aguas Calientes, then discover everything you could do during your stay.

Be the first to visit the Machu Picchu citadel​

Machu Picchu in the morning
  • The number of visitors to Machu Picchu between 06:00 hrs to 10:00 hrs is one of the least crowded, so you will enjoy the Inca citadel just for you.
  • Because it belongs to the eyebrow of the jungle, the citadel Machu Picchu becomes very green, the sun’s rays begin to come out progressively and the air is purer, which helps to have a healthier environment.
  • If you are one of the people who wish to visit Machu Picchu with a view that denotes its mystery and mysticism, we recommend you to enter in the first shift of the morning with the first rays of the sun, which will allow you to live the experience in a unique way.
  • As a complement to your visit to the citadel, you can live one of the best experiences climbing the Huayna Picchu. The hike up this mountain is considered one of the most incredible in the world. Be amazed by the beautiful scenery from the top, where you can dazzle with the view of Machu Picchu as few people get to see it.
  • In order to live this experience, we recommend that you spend a night in Machu Picchu Town. You can see our interactive map here. This way, after your visit to the citadel, you can also visit its tourist attractions such as the butterfly farm, the Stone Chronicles, the hot springs, among others. Remember that this is a great option for you to make your trip at your own pace and without haste. Know the schedule of the trains that arrive to Machu Picchu Pueblo in the afternoon or at the end of the day that will allow you to live this experience in the citadel in the morning:

Train Schedules:

Visit Machu Picchu in the afternoon

 

  • Few people know that the Machu Picchu citadel closes its doors at 17:00 hrs. so you would have the opportunity to spend an unforgettable afternoon knowing a wonder.
  • During the mornings, from 10:00 hrs, the citadel of Machu Picchu concentrates 80% of the visitors. Therefore, it is likely that in the afternoon you will live a similar experience, but with less tourist traffic.
  • You will be able to take amazing pictures with your family, friends or partner and show off the nature that only the citadel can offer you and, possibly, with few people.
