They are distributed throughout the Inca citadel, in the archaeological zone starting at the control gate of the park. They were created to provide a better experience and avoid crowds of tourists which used to make it difficult to pass through the park.
The Ministry of Culture has chosen to combine them with the types of tickets as follows:
If you want to visit two or more circuits then you will have to buy more than one entrance ticket. Remember that re-entry to Machu Picchu is not allowed once you leave the park, and that tickets to Machu Picchu are not sold at the entrance gate.
