MACHU PICCHU, 2023 - Circuit #2 + Inca Bridge (TIPS, COST, INFO and MORE)

[@sanckon72]

I just had tour with Carlos thanks to your channel. I watched your video last night and this morning I contacted Carlos and he agreed to do a tour with me today. He is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and open to all questions. Don’t hesitate to reach out to him even if it is last minute. You never know. I happened to be lucky that he had time and you might be as well.

[@wattstraveling]

Oh that is great to hear! We had an amazing time with him too! Plus he's a great photographer 🤣

[@MissKikkiNo1]

Thank you for sharing! We went to Machu Picchu last week and contacted Carlos beforehand - he was the best guide and we cannot recommend him enough to anyone who plans to go! He is super knowledgeable, has great suggestions for where to make the best pictures and such a nice guy to spend the day with! Highly recommend, so thanks to you for sharing his details - and happy onwards travels ❤

[@wattstraveling]

This is AWESOME! You are very welcome!

[@monikatcaneva5059]

My boyfriend and I also found Carlos on this channel. He was amazing and probably one of the most knowledgeable guides in the area. Highly recommend everyone who would like to learn more about the history of Machu Picchu and Peru in general to hire him as a guide for their trip. ❤ Many thanks to the couple who made this video and to Carlos for the great experience!

[@wattstraveling]

Awe, I love this! Thank you for posting this..... isn't he JUST AWESOME! I'm so happy you had a great time at MP! thanks again!

Hi. How much did Carlos charge you for Machu Picchu circuit 2 + Inca Bridge? Thank you.

[@mikeson2376]

@@wattstraveling Hello. We saw your video and we love it. How much did Carlo charge you for the circuit 2 + Inca Bridge? Any idea on how much tip to give him? Did you also get him for other tours that you had? Thank you.

[@wattstraveling]

@mikeson2376 hi there Mike! Carlos charges based on group size, best thing would be to reach out to him via his whatsapp number (in the description) and I don't know if he does other tours, something to ask him 👍 have a great time! We love Peru

[@mikeson2376]

@@wattstraveling thanks for replying. We are already booked with him. We're so excited. Also, did you get a permit for flying drones? some say you don't need, and I emailed DGAC and they replied to just go to the ADUANA in the airport. I google it and it is the immigration. I guess, I'll just see what they would say when I get there..??? Again, thank you.

[@AJ-eo3vc]

Amazing. We just came back from Machu Picchu. Found Carlos on your channel. He had made our trip so much more memorable. He was very responsive from Day 1, the best tour guide/photographer/life coach-can not recommend him enough. Thanks Carlos!

[@brunawenderosckyderezende9330]

Thank you for your video. I found out Carlos here and I did the tour with him today (15/12/2023). It was the best guide that I had in all my 2 weeks trip. He is very attentive, funny, he explained the entire tour very appropriately and clearly, it couldn’t be better. My experience was incredible and unforgettable, thank you so much Carlos and thanks for this amazing video too!

[@karenbehringer]

We saw amazing Machu Picchu with your guide Carlos yesterday. What a fabulous, knowledgeable, helpful and professional man. I booked him a few weeks ago via WhatsApp. We spoke then and he made sure we were all good to go. Our INKA RAIL train got delayed almost 2 hours from Ollantaytambo(very unusual) but Carlos made sure that we could still get to the Inca Bridge and complete Circuit 2. Thank you for recommending Carlos! He made our trip so much more special.

[@wattstraveling]

Awe, that makes my heart happy! Carlos is great

[@cydrickpetiteaux5759]

[@adolfobriceno1635]

Awesome to see the Inca Bridge and one of the roads into Machu Picchu. It is impressive how the Incas were able to use the topography of the terrain to get a strategic advantage. If you think about it, a small army can stop a whole huge army of thousands of troops. The Incas also invented a method of preserving meat by drying it. That dry meat can be found in any 7&11 convenience store and it’s called jerky. Another Inca legacy to the world. The other is the potato. 😊

My family and I also found Carlos through this video, and there is just TOO MUCH PRAISE our family has for Carlos! If you are in need of a caring, dedicated, and funny guide to Machupicchu, then look no further! Even before flying out to Peru, Carlos can be a great source of information and even aid as you sort out your travel details. And even before or after your time in Machupicchu, Carlos can help find or fill your itinerary. With his 12 years' worth of contacts, we were able to save more than 50% on an ATV excursion for all 7 members of our family. Even if you fancy yourself to be an amuetuer photographer, you will want Carlos's help finding the best spots, angles, and moments. Like many Machupicchu guides, Carlos has an eye for social media, so be sure to get his help composing cute and silly photos to post. By the end of our stay in Augusta Caliente, our big family unit was up to 8 members, including Carlos!!! 😁

As a solo budget world traveler, i just googled the site history before & after my trip. Ill try to ask my hostel hist about trp itinerary via email. Hopefully I'll be ready in a few days. Yes,.im planning a spontaneous trip, but Machu pitchu has been on my bucket list for 3 years, but im just prioritizing my list. Egypt and Jordan were my most recent world adventure for 35 days. With a very short free week i have before starting a new job, this is time to cross off my bucket list. I was deciding/ checking between machu pitchu and Mont St Michelle Abby 😅 tickets for Machu pitchu is cheaper. Spontaneous trip, here i come 😊

I am doing Salkantay to Macha Pichu again next month. I loved your videos and was overjoyed to see the rainbow bridge footage. It was not available 2 years ago possibly due to covid. I did just reach out to Carlos to ensure my companion and I experience as much as possible. I had tummy troubles last time so visit to MP was barely an hour before I had to evacuate. Very excited and your videos have made me even more so. David

Hi there David! 👋..... AGAIN....?! You were lucky enough to do it twice!..... oh man.... we didn't even get to do it once! 😪 I'm happy to hear you reached out to Carlos.... he's great 👍 Have a great time! Thank you for your feedback, appreciate it so much! We LOVED Palccoyo..... the views.....blew my mind! Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@davidrichards9898]

@wattstraveling well this will be my second. I started from mollepeta, had perfect weather, dawdled a lot and rested 2 full days. So took me 8 days to get there. This time I'm planning the traditional route and maybe even having 2 humans and a mule as companions. I am very excited about the bridge as the lodge the night before mp has a wonderful view of this side of Mp but last time the focal zoom I had available to film was non existent. Just fascinates me how it hangs on the cliff

[@wattstraveling]

@davidrichards9898 Wow that's AWESOME! You'll have a great time! Having a mule is a good idea too! 👍

Glad the weather cooperated for you on this trip. Seems like a lot to see for only one hour, though.

Hi acrodriguez 👋 we were actually there for 4 hours....I think that is the the longest time frame you are allowed there, however I didn't see that being policed. It was a great day! Thank you for watching. P.S. we also did the longest circuit #2 there ARE shorter routes you can take!

Hi Kerry Somewhere! 👋 Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it a lot! Machu Picchu, I didn't find it difficult at all. Ausangate was okay, just the odd spots were difficult (but the views made you forget those difficult parts) Palccoyo was okay, we took our time and the views were awesome there too. Humantay I found difficult because it was constantly up hill, with not many flat areas for a little break. In the upcoming weeks I'll be posted a Machu Picchu guide with everything you'll need to know to get you there no problems! I think you'll find it helpful. Thank you so much for watching!

Hello… nice video. I have a question. There are 2 sub types in circuit 2. One is with lower terrace. Which one you did?

[@wattstraveling]

Hi there! Since they recently changed the circuits in not sure to be honestly. All I know is that we did circuit 2 (which I think was the upper) portion plus we did the Inca bridge when we got there. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Looking at the new circuits I want to say Circuit 1-A with Inca bridge.... we had 4 hours to complete it. Not sure why the circuits changed 🤔

[@wattstraveling]

@weronikagrembowska5442 if I could give you one piece of advice that would be to bring layers, especially if you plan on doing any hiking... the sun is intense.... and the weather fluctuates a lot from day and night and at what altitudes you hike! Good pair of high top hiking boots will help too.... even in the streets there's cobble stones (in Cusco) everywhere! Feel free to send me a message via Instagram if you have more questions! 👍

[@weronikagrembowska5442]

[@jemsmay2167]

Nice vid, but suggest your able body viewers consider taking either the 1 day or 3 day hike into Machu Picchu, don’t take the bus in! Seeing MP in the mist for the first time from the sun gate is truly magical. The hikes are inexpensive but strenuous due to the altitude (guides/porters carry all the gear). definitely book guides in advance, most are great but there is variation. The bridge hike is cool, but don’t miss the climb up Huayna picchu, also incredible.

[@wattstraveling]

That's good to know about circuit 1 and 3! Some we only did circuit 2 and the bridge, I can only go by our experience! Thank you for the info!

[@gladyszavport6845]

Completely beautiful! How was the altitude? Did you get sick at all?? I am so nervous about it because we'll be going there pretty soon.

[@wattstraveling]

Hi there! It REALLY is BEAUTIFUL! 😍 You can buy altitude meds (Soroche) at any pharmacy for cheap! 👍 we took them, didn't get sick.... Coca candies are good too, but we first landed in Lima THEN went to Cusco. If you are going STRAIGHT to Cusco..... take atleast 2 days before doing anything. Just walking in Cusco will help get you used to the altitude.... you'll definitely feel it.... feels like your out of breath and out of shape everywhere you walk! 🤣🤣🤣 have an AMAZING time! If you are looking for a MP guide, I recommend CARLOS! 👍 he's great

[@wattstraveling]

Hi there! 👋 Thank you so much for your feedback! Carlos negotiates with you based on the size of group he has, so I think it will be different for everyone, plus a lot of the tour guides are independent workers so the cost can vary! Have a great trip, circuit 2 was AWESOME! thank you for watching❤

[@krazykara1327]

Hi again! Can you explain more about the time on the ticket? When I'm trying to book circuit2 with inca trail, let's say 1pm, upon check out gives a note that I have to enter the circuit between 12-1 and the mountain 1-2? Should I be lined up at the inca trail at 1pm meaning I have from 12pm to 1pm only to do the circuit 2 tour? Thank you

[@wattstraveling]

Hi there krazykara! Whatever your entrance time is going into Machu Picchu (if it's 1pm) they give people 1 hour (from 1-2) to enter, it's like a grace period. We didn't do the Inca trail, so I can't really say how that works. We only did circuit #2 and Inca bridge. Once you are through the entrance gate for MP, you have 4 hours to complete the circuit, which is plenty of time. Hope that helps 👍

@@wattstraveling I meant to write inca bridge! Excuse me. Really thank you for replying. Makes your channel a real source of information with real quick interaction! Thanks for sharing!

@krazykara1327 oh, okay! When we entered (our ticket was 1pm) we did the bridge first, was a good hike. Didn't seem to be too strict with times and there wasn't many ppl doing the bridge when we went. Then we did circuit 2! Thank you for your feedback, it's much appreciated 😊 ❤️

Hi there again! 👋 We didn't actually do Huayana Picchu, but everything I've read about people that have done it, say it's worth the hike! If you go, you'll have to let me know! 👍

[@krazykara1327]

@wattstraveling remember when you ranked macha pichu as number 2 cause you read and prepared a lot for it so you knew what to expect??? Vs the 7 lakes for example.. Now, cause I read a lot and watched a lot of your videos, seems like I'll just skip Peru since seems I visited it enough from watching reading asking planning etc 😀.. sometimes it's good to just go!

[@wattstraveling]

@krazykara1327 yes, you are right..... just go! I honestly tried to NOT do too much research..... but an independent Salkantany hike required a bit of research..... other than that..... we just explored... and LOVED IT! Hope you do too! ❤️

What shoes do you recommend for the hikes are Chacos a good option or stick to hiking shoes or boots?

[@wattstraveling]

Hi there! Whatever Footwear you bring make sure it supports your ankle! I'd recommend boots and if you want poles just rent them when you get there! Hope that helps! Water proof boots are a great idea too! Oh, and layers.... it gets hot hiking, then cold .....

I’m trying add the Inka Bridge To my classic circuit 2 and it’s not an option on the ticket website it’s listed as circuit 1 bridge. Can I do the bridge on another day or does it have to be the day of your visit?

[@wattstraveling]

That's a good question. We actually didn't plan on doing the Inca bridge but our tour guide suggested it and we just paid when we got there? Carlos was awesome that way!

[@hazelb282]

Already reached out to Carlos 😊 so glad I found your video❤ thanks so much!!!!

Hi Krazykara 👋 As you can see in the video I'm wearing a t shirt so weather was warm and comfortable! If you are staying in Cusco at night, it gets chilly this time of year! Just bring layers and you'll be good! Thanks for watching ❤️

Can you please help me to know What ticket did you buy for this?

[@wattstraveling]

@yashwanthboddu hi there 👋 we did circuit #2 but it's done differently now so I don't know what to tell you? I'm not sure why they've changed it, there are more circuits to choose from now, from what I understand.

[@yashwanthboddu]

@@wattstraveling thank you so much for taking time to reply me, understood, thanks again

[@wattstraveling]

@yashwanthboddu no problem! We did the inka bridge and the most popular circuit that gives you the postcard view of Machu Picchu 😍 it was amazing! Have a great time

[@krazykara1327]

Do you have to book a tour guide? What do you mean by circuit 2?

[@wattstraveling]

Hello again..... guides are not mandatory from what I understand but you'll miss so much info..... it really is nice to have. As for the different circuits, I'd recommend checking out the link I left in the description 👍 there's lots to explain but in the link you can look at different routes and pick one that best suits you! 👍thank you so much for watching! ❤️

What month did you visit?

[@wattstraveling]

Hi there! 👋 we did Machu Picchu really May, 2023. But we were there for 2.5 months!.... and it still wasn't enough! 🤣 Thank you for watching! ❤️

What is the best circuit to do?

[@wattstraveling]

Hi there, Fay Zet! Hi honestly, circuit 2 gives you some of the best views! It's the longest circuit, but I think it's worth it. Check out the description box I've left a link that explains all the circuits! Great question and thank you for watching!

How much did it cost to DIY? Train, bus, guide and entrance ticket?

[@wattstraveling]

Hi there, our MP tix cost $55 each plus an additional $10 for the Inca bridge Bus and train to Aguas clientes was $249(for 2ppl)... This was from the bus station in Cusco. Train from Aguas clientes back to Ollantaytambo was $180(for 2 ppl) Bus up to MP $$64 round trip (for 2 pp)... but you can hike it, if you dare 🤣 We ended up staying in Ollantaytambo for 2 nights (I'd definitely recommend.... also did a video on that too) then took a private taxi back to Cusco and it cost $36 All prices in CAD hope that helps! 👍

Is it true that selfie sticks are not allowed at Machu picchu?

[@wattstraveling]

Yes, that's true.... along with tripods, walking sticks, walkers and food! 👍

[@adilduredoran2477]

How much you pay tour guide ?

[@wattstraveling]

Hi there! 👋 all the guides work independently, so they could all be different..... and it depends on the group size. I can remember the exact price...? I want to say around 25 CAD pp. Contact Carlos on his whatsapp (Number in description) he's great! 👌

Looks like you are using a gimbal. Is that allowed or one needs a special permission from authority?

[@wattstraveling]

Hi there, i wasn't using a gimble my phone has handle on it, it's not extendabl. They don't like long selfie sticks because they're interruptive to others. Plus they don't want any poles touching the ground. Strict rules....👍
