Peru travel guides · Updated for 2026
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.
It needs route 3-A, has very limited places and usually sells out first in high season.
Bring the original ID used to book, arrive within your time slot and leave banned items behind.
A limited number of next-day tickets are sold in person in Aguas Calientes. Useful if online tickets are gone.
