Plan your trip to Peru with clear, up-to-date guides
Ticket prices, routes and entry rules for Peru's top sights change often. Enperu checks official sources and explains what actually matters, starting with Machu Picchu: how tickets work, which circuit to pick and what to bring on the day.
Plan your Machu Picchu visit in 5 steps
Entry tickets are timed, named and tied to one route, so the order in which you plan matters.
-
Choose your circuit and route
There are 3 circuits and 10 routes. Circuit 2 covers the most temples and plazas; Circuit 1 gives the classic postcard view.

Buy your ticket on the official site
Tickets are sold on tuboleto.cultura.pe. A foreign adult pays S/163 for a standard route or S/211 with a mountain.
-
Want to climb Huayna Picchu? Book early
It needs route 3-A, has very limited places and usually sells out first in high season.

Check the entry requirements
Bring the original ID used to book, arrive within your time slot and leave banned items behind.

Know the backup plan
A limited number of next-day tickets are sold in person in Aguas Calientes. Useful if online tickets are gone.

Why travelers use Enperu
- Official sources first. Prices, quotas and rules come from Peru's Ministry of Culture, SERNANP and official resolutions, linked at the end of each guide.
- Updated when rules change. Machu Picchu changed its fees and ticket system several times in 2026; our guides reflect the current rules.
- We don't sell tickets. We explain how to buy through official channels so you avoid look-alike websites and overpriced resellers.
