Machu Picchu Entry Ticket: Panoramic, Classic or Royal Route
From €72 per person
See availability →A Machu Picchu entry ticket booked in advance, with a choice between the panoramic, classic and royal routes. The official PDF ticket reaches you through the booking messages, with no guide or bus.
A Machu Picchu entry ticket is the first thing to sort out when you plan the visit, and this one lets you pick the route you want to walk. There is no guide and no transport here, only the right to enter and explore the citadel at your own pace.
- Circuit 1, the panoramic route, climbs to the upper terraces for the postcard view of the ruins with Huayna Picchu behind them.
- Circuit 2, the classic route, runs among the stone buildings: the agricultural terraces, the urban sectors, the plazas and the temples.
- Circuit 3, the royal route, stays in the lower part of the site, where you find the royal quarters, the area around the Sun Temple and the water mirrors.
Once the booking is made, your official PDF ticket arrives as a message on the booking platform. At the gate you hand over that ticket and your original passport. Taxes and handling are already covered by the ticket.
A guide, buses, trains, food and drinks are not part of the ticket. It suits independent travelers who already have transport sorted and prefer to wander the citadel at their own pace rather than follow a tour.
