Prices and types of tickets to Machu Picchu

• Machu Picchu + Mountain – Route 1A

  With this ticket, you will first visit the upper part of Machu Picchu, from where you can see much of the archaeological site, and then begin the hike up Machu Picchu Mountain, one of the highest peaks in the sanctuary. Although the climb is demanding, the views from the top are well worth it.

• Classic Photo at Machu Picchu – Route 1B

  If you’re looking for the classic Machu Picchu postcard shot without touring the entire citadel, this ticket is ideal. It allows you to go straight to the upper area, where the terraces and best photo spots are located.

• Machu Picchu + Inti Punku – Route 1C

  This ticket combines access through the upper part of the citadel with a moderately difficult hike to Inti Punku, the ancient entrance of the Inca Trail. The path offers good views and, since it’s not too physically demanding, it’s a balanced option.

• Machu Picchu + Inca Bridge – Route 1D

  Here, you’ll explore the upper part of Machu Picchu and then walk along a narrow path leading to the Inca Bridge, an ancient structure built along a cliff. It’s a unique option that doesn’t require as much effort as other routes.

• Classic Circuit of Machu Picchu – Route 2A

  This is the most complete ticket for exploring Machu Picchu, as it allows you to tour both the upper and lower sectors, including plazas, ceremonial areas, and iconic structures like the Intihuatana or the Temple of the Sun.

• Classic Circuit of Machu Picchu (lower terrace) – Route 2B

  It offers a route similar to Route 2A but with more direct access from the lower part, making it easier for those who prefer to avoid many stairs. Although slightly shorter, it still allows you to see the main archaeological sectors.

• Machu Picchu + Huayna Picchu – Route 3A

  This ticket includes a brief visit to the lower area of the citadel before starting the steep climb to Huayna Picchu, the famous mountain that appears in most photos of Machu Picchu. The narrow and challenging ascent offers one of the best views of the site.

• Temples of Lower Machu Picchu – Route 3B

  If you’re more interested in history and ceremonial spaces, this route focuses on the temples in the lower part of Machu Picchu, such as the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Three Windows, and the Sacred Rock.

• Machu Picchu + Temple of the Moon – Route 3C

  This route begins with access through the lower part of the citadel and continues with a long, demanding hike to the Great Cavern, also known as the Temple of the Moon. It’s a lesser-visited but fascinating site due to its location and architecture.

• Machu Picchu + Huchuy Picchu – Route 3D

  Ideal for those who want a different view without much effort, this route offers a walk through the lower part and a short hike to the top of Huchuy Picchu, a small mountain facing Huayna Picchu.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the ticket price vary based on the nationality or age of the visitor?

  Yes, when making your reservation, you will find different rates based on the nationality and age of the visitor. It is very important to select the correct option, as this information will be verified at the entrance to Machu Picchu. If you purchase a ticket under a nationality that does not belong to you, you will not be allowed entry, as it will be considered fraud.

• Are there discounts for students or children?

  Yes, there are discounts for students and children. To get the student discount, you must present a valid university ID card at the entrance to validate your ticket.

• Is there a price difference between tickets that only include Machu Picchu and those that include Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain?

  Yes, there is a slight price difference. Tickets that include Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain are usually a bit more expensive, as they offer longer routes. This allows you to spend more time inside the archaeological site and access higher areas with stunning views of the entire citadel.

• Does the ticket include a guide service, or is it paid separately?

  Note! The ticket only includes access to the specific Machu Picchu route you have reserved, but does not cover additional services such as a tour guide. If you want a guide, you must hire them separately.

• What happens if I buy the ticket in advance? Will the price change?

  Buying the ticket in advance does not guarantee a lower price, but it is highly recommended as tickets are limited and in high demand. If you don’t book in time, you run the risk of not getting an entry.

• How much does it cost to change the ticket date or make a cancellation?

  Traveler, it is important to know that the ticket to Machu Picchu cannot be canceled or rescheduled. Therefore, when reserving, make sure to carefully check the date you choose and have your trip well planned in advance.

• Are there promotions or special rates during the low season?

  Note! The price of the ticket to Machu Picchu remains the same throughout the year, so there are no discounts for the low season. However, you might find offers on other services such as tours, trains, or accommodations.

• Can I buy different types of tickets for the same trip?

  Of course. Many travelers opt to purchase different types of tickets to explore more of Machu Picchu. Just make sure to organize your schedule well, as each route requires an estimated time for the tour.

• Does the Machu Picchu ticket allow re-entry on the same day?

  Keep in mind that your ticket only allows one entry, and you cannot re-enter on the same day. If you wish to explore more, you can buy a second ticket for another route and continue discovering Machu Picchu from a different perspective.
