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.
Entry tickets are timed, named and tied to one route, so the order in which you plan matters.
There are 3 circuits and 10 routes. Circuit 2 covers the most temples and plazas; Circuit 1 gives the classic postcard view.
Tickets are sold on tuboleto.cultura.pe. A foreign adult pays S/163 for a standard route or S/211 with a mountain.
