Over the years, the number of visitors to Machu Picchu has increased, making it more difficult to visit the Inca citadel. The Ministry of Culture has changed the method of selling Machu Picchu tickets by creating new routes. Today these routes are known as "Machu Picchu Circuits". Three new circuits have been created, each offering a different route to visit the Inca citadel. These Machu Picchu Circuits are carefully planned according to the protection guidelines set by UNESCO.
Once you have reserved a circuit, it is not possible to change the route. If you change the route during the tour without permission, you may be asked to leave the citadel. This rule applies to both visitors and their guides.
The Machu Picchu circuits are as follows:
Circuit 1 Machu Picchu offers the classic panoramic view from the Guardian's House (Casa del Guardián). This tour is divided into four routes:

At the beginning of 2024, the Ministry of Culture announced its website for ticket sales, in collaboration with Joinnus. Therefore, during the first part of the year, the private company was in charge of selling tickets for Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail.
However, starting May 15, 2024, Joinnus stopped managing the virtual platform for selling tickets to Machu Picchu. Instead, the government implemented a new digital tool called "tuboleto.cultura.pe". The main objective of this platform is to optimize accessibility and guarantee greater transparency in the process of purchasing tickets to Machu Picchu.
The first ticket booking system, 'www.machupicchu.gob.pe', was operational until January 19, 2024. From that date, the management was taken over by the private company Joinnus, which introduced a new booking platform called TUBOLETOCULTURAPE, which was operational for only half a year. Later, the government decided to implement its own platform, ending its collaboration with Joinnus. Currently, the sale of tickets for Machu Picchu for the year 2025 is exclusively done through this new government platform.
The announcement of the privatization of ticket sales has sparked protests from travel agencies, operators, and the Cusco population, with the slogan 'Joinnus Not Going! with tuboleto.cultura.pe.' Concerns about irregularities in the outsourcing process have prompted calls for more transparency regarding the contract details.
Residents of Cusco and travel agencies fear potential future impacts on ticket costs. Historical precedence, such as the high costs associated with privatized services like the train to Machu Picchu, raises concerns among agencies and operators about the lack of preferential pricing.
News (June 1, 2024): According to the Ministry of Tourism's monthly tourism report, during the first half of 2024, a total of 648,268 people visited Machu Picchu, which represents a 103% increase compared to the same period in 2023. Due to this high demand, many visitors were unable to access the site during the busiest months. Therefore, for 2025, we suggest that you book your Machu Picchu entrance tickets well in advance to avoid any inconveniences.
News (Updated January 1, 2025): Machu Picchu is now open to all visitors in 2025 and will be operating at 100% capacity. We recommend booking your tickets in advance to avoid any last-minute surprises.

2. Couldn't you get a Huayna Picchu Mountain ticket?
Then choose the Machu Picchu Mountain option (Circuit 1 Route A), which also includes a spectacular hike to the top of the Inca city. Also, you can buy this ticket a few weeks in advance.
3. Which is better option Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain?
Did you know that the hike to Huayna Picchu is considered one of the best in the world? According to tourists, ‘Huayna’ is the best option because it includes Inca temples such as the mysterious ‘Temple of the Moon’. However, both the Machu Picchu mountain and the Huayna Picchu offer spectacular hikes to the top of Machu Picchu.
Remember that only people over 12 years old can enter Huayna Picchu. Therefore, if you are traveling with children, Machu Picchu mountain is the best option. This mountain does not include Inca temples but it does include a less dizzying hike and with equally surprising landscapes.
4. What documents are required to purchase your entrance to Machu Picchu?
Buying the ticket to Machu Picchu is super easy! To acquire any of the tickets to Machu Picchu it is necessary to send a digital photo of the passport or valid identity document. If the visitor is a university student, they can send the digital photo of their university card (ISIC is no longer accepted) and thus access a special discount.

Remember that children under 3 years old enter Machu Picchu for free!
7. What is the best time to visit Machu Picchu?
Machu Picchu is open every day of the year from 6 a.m. until 5 pm. Any time is ideal to go. However, due to its remoteness from the city of Cusco (4 hours by train); It is best to enter from 9 a.m., 10 a.m. or more. Keep in mind that in the afternoon Machu Picchu is visited by fewer tourists so you can take better photos!
If you are lucky enough to spend the night in Machu Picchu town (Aguas Calientes), you can enter from 6 a.m. and thus see the sunrise in the Inca city. Most tourists choose to visit Machu Picchu early. So they will have free time to visit the town of Aguas Calientes in the afternoon!
8. Can I visit Machu Picchu with children?
Of course! Machu Picchu and all its tourist attractions are open for children, adults and seniors. The only exception is the Huayna Picchu mountain (valid for people over 12 years old).
If you are looking for adventure, Machu Picchu mountain is the best option to go with children. This mountain is available to people of any age. Children can enjoy the walk and the beautiful landscapes.
If you are looking for something different for your child, the Machu Picchu site museum is a good option. Apart from the display of Inca objects, there is a botanical garden and a butterfly garden that are very attractive for the little ones.
During your visit to Machu Picchu, you can choose between a variety of tours. These range from a full-day excursion to Inca Trail through the Sacred Valley of the Incas or Machu Picchu tours from Cusco. The multi-day tours can be combined with climbing of the Huayna Picchu mountain or the Rainbow Mountain, a trek through the Andes villages with living traditions. If the classic trail is sold out, the best hiking option is the short Inca Trail, this trail is part of the Inca path.
