How to choose the ticket to Machu Picchu?
The new changes and the update of the tickets or routes to Machu Picchu, made several people confused. Since June 1st these changes were implemented. One of these changes is that the routes and tickets will be duplicated, leaving 10 new tickets in total. These 10 tickets are divided between the 3 Circuits or sectors of Machu Picchu. Each of the 3 new Circuits will offer a different experience. These new experiences can be summarized as follows: Circuit 1 (Panoramic), the Circuits (Classic) and Circuit 3 (Royalty).

The 10 new types of Machu Picchu tickets

After the last changes made by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture, 10 routes or tickets to visit Machu Picchu were enabled. Among these tickets you can find some changes and brief modifications of some old circuits. It is also possible to find new destinations and routes for the high season. We are anxious to know them and to travel all of them. Each of the 10 routes will show us different experiences to live in Machu Picchu.

Likewise, the Machu Picchu High Season was made official and will begin precisely on June 1, 2024. This season will be extended until October 15. On October 16, the regular season will be introduced until May 31. Although the changes are subject to testing and some future reforms. Even so, it is quite likely that these changes will last for quite some time.

For now, it remains to talk about the 10 new tickets. These tickets will be integrated into different circuits. The new Machu Picchu circuits sectorize the different attractions of Machu Picchu. In this sense, the new experiences will be diversified in Circuit 1 (4 routes), Circuit 2 (2 routes) and Circuit 3 (4 routes). The 10 new tickets in total are the routes detailed below:

New Circuits in Machu Picchu

The 3 new circuits around Machu Picchu

Let’s learn more about the new Machu Picchu Circuits and their main characteristics. Let’s start by pointing out that each of the circuits have independent routes. Only in some cases some sections of the routes will coincide. However, it will be forbidden to travel the different routes of the circuits without the corresponding ticket. This will apply even if they belong to the same Circuit. For example, if you booked the Inti Punku Route ticket, you will only be able to follow that circuit and you will not be able to travel to the Inca Bridge or Machu Picchu Mountain. Now, let’s learn more about the main activities that can be done in each of the 3 Machu Picchu Circuits.

Distribution and availability of the 10 Machu Picchu tickets

It will be important to note that since the changes of the Peruvian Ministry of Culture. The High Season will officially begin every June 1st, extending until October 15th. In this sense, the availability of tickets in regular and high season, should be checked according to the date you want to travel.

On the other hand, it is important to mention that high season tickets and routes can also be visited during December 30 and 31. This is because during these dates there is an increase in the number of visitors.

It is also worth mentioning that the availability shown in the table below is only for the virtual sale. The face-to-face sale has less quantity of tickets. In some cases it may be the last alternative to find the entrance ticket to Machu Picchu. Especially for those who did not make the ticket reservation before the trip.

What sites are visited or included in each of the 10 tickets?

Now that we know more about the availability and the tickets or routes that each of the circuits have. It is time to delve deeper into each of the 10 tickets and learn about the destinations or visits that each of them allow. Remember that the tickets strictly follow a circuit and can be fined and even withdrawn in case you do not follow the corresponding circuit. Throughout the citadel and at different points you will find security personnel of the enclosure. They will be in charge of helping you or taking the corresponding measures in case of any infraction or fault.

Comparative table of sites or venues to be visited

We placed the main attractions of Machu Picchu in a column to make it easier to identify, the tickets or routes, and even the circuits in general that allow, in its route, to reach each of these enclosures. On the other hand, it helped us a lot to sectorize the attractions that Machu Picchu has for a better understanding.

What is not included in the tickets to Machu Picchu?
It is important to note that the Machu Picchu tickets will only include the circuits that each route presents, none of the tickets will include any extra or additional service. In this sense, you will only be able to follow the route of the ticket purchased. Even if you have a Circuit 1 ticket, it does not mean that you will be able to do the 4 panoramic routes. Even if some sections of the routes coincide up to a certain point, you will always be able to find the road that divides or separates them. There you will often find a park ranger, attentive to ensure that the visitors’ route is properly followed. It is important to maintain good order and respect to comply with the routes, this is the only way to ensure a good experience for all visitors.

How to better understand the changes in Machu Picchu?

Machu Picchu tickets are now considered routes. These new routes will be inserted within the 3 new circuits. The new circuits are nothing more than a sectorization of Machu Picchu. Which allows you to see, tour and visit Machu Picchu from different perspectives. Thus, generating new experiences that we hope will last correctly in each of the visitors.

On the other hand, by sectoring the attractions, we hope to maintain an adequate flow of tickets and routes of Machu Picchu. By sectorizing the tours, a good group of visitors will be able to be in only one sector of Machu Picchu, and the interruption during the explanations will be minimal. Likewise, the crowds that are usually a nuisance at the time of making the tours and even at the time of taking a picture. We hope that now the tours will be more free of crowds and that they will allow a better tour of the desired Circuit or Route.
