Hi! I'm going to Machu Picchu in mid-November, and I already bought a 2B ticket for 6 am. I chose the earliest time slot because I thought it would be less crowded first thing in the morning. But then I learned that there’s a good chance it could be cloudy at that time.

Now I’m thinking about getting an extra ticket as a backup in case it’s foggy or rainy.

I have a couple of questions:

1. I know it’s hard to say, but do you think it’s worth buying a second ticket as a backup? Or are the views likely to be pretty similar even if I go a day earlier or a few hours later?
2. If I want to combine it with 2B, which circuit would you recommend? I was originally thinking of 1B for a different view, but I’ve seen some comments saying it’s not really worth it. Would 3B be a better option?
3. What time would you recommend? Would it be better to go in the afternoon the day before my 2B ticket, or around noon on the same day? I’m wondering if going the day before would be better so I wouldn’t have to do two circuits if it rains that day.

Thanks in advance!
