Frequently asked questions
How do I buy Machu Picchu tickets?
You can buy Machu Picchu tickets online at machu-picchu-tickets.com in a few minutes: choose your circuit, pick a date and entry time, add a bus or guide if you want, and pay securely. Your mobile ticket is emailed to you, usually within 5 hours and always within 24 hours.
Do I need to book Machu Picchu tickets in advance?
Yes. Machu Picchu tickets are timed-entry and capped daily, so they regularly sell out weeks ahead, especially from May to September. Booking in advance is the only reliable way to secure your preferred date and entry hour.
How much do Machu Picchu tickets cost?
Machu Picchu entrance tickets typically cost from about $39 to $64 per adult, depending on the circuit you choose. Round-trip buses and private guides are optional add-ons priced separately at checkout.
Which Machu Picchu circuit is best?
For a first visit and the classic postcard photo, Circuit 2A or 2B is the best Machu Picchu circuit. Choose Circuit 3A to climb Huayna Picchu, or Circuit 1 for the Sun Gate and Inca Bridge. If you’re unsure, we’ll match you to the right circuit over WhatsApp.
Can I buy Machu Picchu tickets at the entrance?
No. Machu Picchu tickets are not sold at the entrance gate, and the ticket office in Aguas Calientes is frequently sold out. To guarantee entry, buy your Machu Picchu tickets online before you arrive.
How will I receive my Machu Picchu tickets?
Your Machu Picchu tickets are delivered by email as a mobile ticket, usually within 5 hours of booking and always within 24 hours. Show the ticket on your phone together with your passport at the entrance — no printing required.
Can I cancel or get a refund on my Machu Picchu tickets?
Machu Picchu entrance tickets and train tickets are non-refundable once issued, because the government and rail operators lock them to a named traveler, date, and time. Optional add-ons — the round-trip bus and private guide — can be cancelled up to 24 hours before your visit for a refund.
Do I need my passport to enter Machu Picchu?
Yes. You must show the same passport used to book your Machu Picchu tickets at the entrance, because each ticket is issued to a named traveler. Bring the physical passport or official ID that matches your booking.
Is machu-picchu-tickets.com the official Machu Picchu website?
No. Machu Picchu Tickets is an independent, authorized booking service, not the official venue or a government website. We sell official-circuit entrance tickets with added English support, buses, guides, and mobile delivery; the official government portal is tuboleto.cultura.pe.
Is it safe to buy Machu Picchu tickets online?
Yes. Buying Machu Picchu tickets online through an authorized service is safe when the site uses secure checkout, shows real company details, and sources its reviews. We provide secure payment, a registered company with contact details, and English-speaking support before and during your trip.
