To boost tourism and support preserving this iconic archaeological site, the government introduced promotional rates for Machu Picchu in 2025. The plan includes new tourist circuits and affordable pricing to diversify visitor experiences and ensure sustainability.
To revitalize the tourism sector and manage visitor flows more effectively, the government formalized these promotional rates through Ministerial Resolution N° 000440-2024-MC. The initiative features ten tourist routes to balance visitor distribution and preserve the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
New prices and tourist routes
The promotional rates provide options tailored to different visitor needs:
Route 1-A:
- General: 112 soles
- Students and minors: 80 soles
Circuit 2 and route 2-A:
- General: 64 soles
- Students and minors: 32 soles
Routes 1-B and 1-D:
- Available only during peak season, with the same pricing as Circuit 2.
Route 3-A (Huayna Picchu):
- General: 112 soles
This approach ensures better management of tourist flow, promotes the site’s preservation and delivers a positive economic impact on local communities by encouraging responsible tourism.
Entry requirements
Visitors must present:
- A valid ID (DNI, foreign residence card, or passport).
- Students: A higher education ID issued by SUNEDU, the Ministry of Education, or their university/technical institution, featuring personal details, a photograph, and an expiration date.
