Machu Picchu protects the archaeological site by limiting daily capacity and assigning visitors to a route and entry hour. For selected high-demand dates in 2026, the official maximum capacity is 5,600 visitors per day; route quotas still apply.
What to consider
- Entry is controlled by the time printed on the ticket.
- The circuits are one-way and re-entry is generally not allowed.
- Capacity varies between routes and between regular and high season.
- Arrive prepared: changing route or entry time at the gate should not be expected.
Planning advice
Start with official availability for your exact date. Then coordinate the entrance time with trains, buses and accommodation. Keep the ticket PDF available offline and carry the original identity document entered during booking. Names, dates and route details should be reviewed immediately after purchase.
Our local recommendation
Choose the experience that fits your group instead of selecting a route only because it is popular. Weather, walking ability and the places you most want to see should shape the decision. Leave enough time between transport connections, arrive calmly and follow all instructions from cultural-site personnel.
Check before you travel: Regulations, route access, prices and availability can change. Review the official circuit information and purchase only through Tu Boleto.
