Machu Picchu Tickets: Price Increase in 2024

The Machu Picchu archeological site in the region of Cusco in Peru is one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. After a short period of closure due to political turmoil, we’re ecstatic to announce that Machu Picchu is now open again! With a Machu Picchu entrance ticket, you’ll be able to see the entire Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu, including more than 150 structures from temples and agricultural terraces to residential areas and aqueducts as well as areas that continue to remain a huge mystery. In fact, Machu Picchu tours attract millions of visitors to Peru each year.
