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.

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.
