machu picchu view

Since more than 10 million people voted Machu Picchu as one of the New World Seven Wonders in 2007, visitors have not stopped arriving. In the last 2023, the Inca Citadel received around 1 million visitors! The daily flow of walking through the alleys, squares, and enclosures of the citadel causes the erosion of its lithic blocks. And this erosion is worryingly rapid.

The administration of Machu Picchu established an order and schedule for the entrance to regulate the flow of visitors. Thus, they preserve the Inca wonder for many years in the future for the enjoyment of all generations to come. And new schedules of visits mean new entrance ticket types for 2024.

If you want to know What is Machu Picchu and want to know how to buy tickets for 2024, Machu Travel Peru will tell you everything! Schedules, prices, circuits, and much more. Our team is ready to help you with any item regarding the tickets to Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu Tickets

entrance ticket to machu picchu

It is simple! For 2024, there are three different Machu Picchu entrance tickets. Each one has a linked circuit, which passes by different attractions inside the Inca Citadel. These circuits are different from each other, and none of them cross or pass through the same zone or area.

These circuits separate people and avoid crowds and traffic of visitants. Once you start a circuit, you can’t go back (Unidirectional routes) or pass from one route to another during the tour.

As we mentioned, the Machu Picchu ticket entrances are 3:

  • Circuit 1: A short hike, perfect for those who want the perfect picture or postcard of Machu Picchu from the high zone. This circuit has excellent panoramic views of the citadel.
  • Circuit 2: Long distance. The circuit is the most extensive and allows a complete visit to the citadel of Machu Picchu. It is perfect for those who visit Machu Picchu for the first time.
  • Circuit 3: Of regular extension. The circuit passes through the lower sector of Machu Picchu (agricultural sector). And it is perfect for people who do not want to climb many steps. Here, you can also take excellent pictures of the Inca citadel.

Each circuit contains more specific ones that include treks to the adjacent mountains. We refer to the Huchuy Picchu and Huayna Picchu mountains. Or nearby attractions such as the Inca Bridge or the Sun Gate.

There is a special Machu Picchu entrance in any of these three circuits.

This is the higher education student ticket. You only have to send a digital photo of the legitimate university card. This is valid for undergraduate students under 25 years of age. The ISIC is no longer valid.

Tips 2024

machu picchu tickets questions

1. Booking in advance

All Machu Picchu tickets are of limited availability. These can also go out of stock overnight. So, don’t trust that you’ll get them one day before the Machu Picchu tour once in Cusco.

The sooner you buy them, the better. Therefore, buying them online will be your best option with a minimum of 6 months in advance.

2. Make sure your passport is up to date when you buy your tickets

Be sure that the passport you used to buy your tickets is the same one that you will present to the control guards when entering the citadel. There are some cases in which a visitor buys his tickets in advance with a passport about to expire. In this sense, he changes his passport and comes to Peru with the new one. Thus, he forgot the old one in his home country—a big mistake.

3. Besides your entrance tickets, entering the Inca citadel without a tour guide is forbidden

This is according to the rules of the Culture minister, the government institution responsible for Machu Picchu. Therefore, if you choose the travel agency to buy your Machu Picchu entrances, you can also book a tour guide.

But don’t worry. If you buy your tickets yourself online, you can find many official tour guides close to the citadel entrance. A private tour guide costs around $20 during the 02:30 hrs of the tour. And $8 if you want to join a group.

4. Tickets can be changed to another date but cannot be refunded

If you suffer from a personal inconvenience, you can change the entrance date of your Machu Picchu tickets. You just have to write an email to obtain the requirements to change the date on your ticket: callcenter@culturacusco.gob.pe

On the other hand, you can call +51 84 582030. However, if you want a refund for your no-used tickets will not be possible.

These processes are in accordance with the policies of the Ministry of Culture.

5. Discount for students

Are you a student between 18 and 25 years old? So, this information is for you! Among Machu Picchu facts about ticket purchase, student tickets have a great discount!

To buy these tickets, you only have to put the number on your university student card instead of the passport number! Follow the next steps (as a normal purchase), and you will get your entrance to Machu Picchu with a special discount. Only remember to show these tickets and your original University Student Card when you enter Machu Picchu. The guard park will contrast the information on your passport and the ticket.

FAQs

machu picchu tickets for students

1. Can you visit Machu Picchu with your children?

Yes, of course you can! The archeological complex and all its tourist attractions are available for both children and adults. The only exception is the mountain of Huayna Picchu, which only people over 12 can undertake it. Therefore, tourists who want to have a great honeymoon in Machu Picchu consider it perfect for a couple’s experience.

Machu Picchu Mountain is a better option for children. This mountain is available for all ages. It is a much less steep hike and full of beautiful scenery.

Another great option for children is the Machu Picchu site museum. Apart from displaying objects in the museum, there is a beautiful botanical garden and a butterfly garden. Both are very attractive to children.

Being able to know what Machu Picchu is? It is a great way to entertain the children with a little history.

2. Are pets allowed?

The Park administration forbids pets.

3. What is the fastest ticket sold out?

The Circuit 3 – Route Huayna Picchu mountain ticket is the one that runs out the fastest. This is because there are few spaces available per day. Followed by the Circuit 2 – Designed Classic Route ticket.

We recommend booking them about six months in advance if you are looking to enjoy this walk especially if you plan to travel during peak tourist season.

Of Course, there is another one that sells out very quickly: the ticket for the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. But the path is not part of the visit to the citadel, as such. You can find more information in our Inca Trail section.

4. Is Huayna Picchu mountain or Machu Picchu Mountain better?

The Huayna Picchu hike is, without a doubt, one of the best hikes in the world. It is much more popular and the most challenging due to the Inca landscapes and temples available, such as the Temple of the Moon. However, both hikes offer exceptional hikes and views of the citadel and its surroundings.

If you are looking for an adventurous alternative, Huayna Picchu Mountain is the best option.

5. What do I need to travel to Machu Picchu?

First, you will need the Machu Picchu tickets. Your passport is also necessary. Make sure your documents are valid until the date of your visit to Machu Picchu.

At the entrance door, they will verify that your document matches the information provided on your tickets. And, of course, a travel guide.

6. What is the best way to buy tickets?

It is one of the best ways to ensure that you will have a place to visit Machu Picchu, this magical adventure. Plus, it’s one of the safest ways to book your tickets in advance. But buying them through a travel agency is also good!

7. What is the best time to visit Machu Picchu?

If you want to visit it between June and September, get your Machu Picchu tickets well in advance. At least four months early. The Inca citadel of Machu Picchu is open every day of the year, from 6 AM to 5 PM.

In general, the best time to visit Machu Picchu is in the dry season. Since you will have clear skies and good weather during your visit. The only downside is that the dry season usually coincides with the high tourist season. So you will have to book in advance.

Regarding the schedule, keep in mind that the citadel is about 4 hours away from the city of Cusco. So it is convenient to have Machu Picchu tickets with shifts between 9 AM and 10 AM or more. But if you are lucky enough to stay in Aguas Calientes, you can enter from 6 AM.

Most tourists choose to visit the citadel very early. So in the evenings, you will find a lot fewer people in the queues.

8. Can I do Machu Picchu in a day?

Yes, you can visit Machu Picchu in a day. You’ll have to note the schedule of your ticket and the frequency of your train to Machu Picchu. The train is the only transportation to get to Aguas Calientes town, the closest town to Machu Picchu.

If you have an entrance schedule of 10:00 am, you’ll have to count 4 hours before departing from Cusco or Sacred Valley. It will depend on where your hotel is. In this case, you’ll have to leave from Cusco at 06:00 am.

Another example is if your entrance ticket says 08:00 am, your train would have to depart from Cusco at 04:00 am. But there is no train schedule departing from this hour. So, it will depend on your train schedule to visit the Inca citadel in only one day.

9. Can I bring my selfie sticks to Machu Picchu?

Selfie sticks are forbidden in the Citadel.

10. Can I bring my drone to Machu Picchu?

11. Can I go to the bathroom inside Machu Picchu?
