Circuit 3

The option for Machu Picchu Mountain hikers

Machu Picchu Circuit 3

Circuit 3 “Bajo Corto is the short version of the lower circuit, yellow on the map. You enter the llaqta through the lower gate. You only see the House of the Inca and the Water Mirrors. This option works for people with limited mobility or who want minimal walking.

If you choose the extra hike up Machu Picchu Mountain, this is the circuit you are required to do. It is calculated to take less time than the other circuits because hiking up Machu Picchu Mountain takes more time than the other extra hikes.

Estimated time 1.5 hours.
