What documents do I need to enter Machu Picchu?

If you are planning a visit to Machu Picchu, it is important to be aware of the necessary documents to enter the archaeological site and enjoy this incredible experience without any issues. Below are the essential documents you should keep in mind before your trip:

Passport or identity document: To enter Machu Picchu, you will need to present your original passport or, in the case of Peruvian citizens and members of the Andean Community (Bolivia, Colombia, and Ecuador), their national identity document (DNI, citizenship card, etc.). It is essential that you carry the same document that you used when purchasing the Machu Picchu ticket, as the information must match.

Machu Picchu entrance ticket: You will need to purchase and present your entrance ticket to the archaeological site. We recommend purchasing it in advance through the official website of the Ministry of Culture of Peru (https://www.machupicchu.gob.pe/) or through an authorized travel agency. There are different types of tickets, such as the ticket for Machu Picchu only, the combined ticket with Huayna Picchu mountain or Machu Picchu mountain, among others. Make sure to carry a printed or digital copy of your ticket, as it will be necessary to present it at the entrance.

Train and/or bus ticket (if applicable): If you are arriving at Machu Picchu by train from Cusco or Ollantaytambo, do not forget to bring your train and bus tickets. These tickets can be requested in digital or printed format, according to the policies of the respective companies. Remember that to get to the archaeological site from Aguas Calientes, you will need to take a bus that takes you to the entrance of Machu Picchu.

International student card (if applicable): If you are a student and wish to access the reduced student rate, you will need to present a valid international student card (ISIC) along with your passport or identity document. Please note that other types of student cards will not be accepted.

Additional documentation (if applicable): If you are traveling with minors, make sure to bring the corresponding documentation that proves their age, such as a passport or identity document. Additionally, if you have a special rate, such as that for Peruvian citizens or members of the Andean Community, make sure to bring the documents that prove your nationality or residence.

By keeping these documents in mind and preparing them in advance, you can enjoy an organized and hassle-free visit to Machu Picchu, one of the most iconic tourist destinations in the world.

Excellent

We stayed one night there and really the service has been exceptional. I have nothing but good words for the establishment. We stayed in a suite which was excellent! It had a jacuzzi. Breakfast very good. The staff is always attentive. And the restaurant is a luxury. We took the 4-step menu and it has been spectacular. I would definitely go back and recommend it.

Unforgettable

I went to Machupicchu with family and stayed at the Casa Del Sol hotel again. The hotel is just beautiful. There have been renovations since I was last there, the dining room is beautiful and crisp! An absolute delight to dine in. But the best part of the hotel is the people. The staff really goes above and beyond to make sure we have every need attended to! The staff welcomed us back like old friends, and even helped us celebrate my mother's birthday with a bottle of wine! We stayed for 2 nights, but we could have stayed longer just to enjoy the rooms and the spa.

Beautiful Hotel in Aguascalientes

I loved staying at the hotel so much! As soon as we got off our bus we were greeted by very friendly staff and walked less than 100 meters to the hotel. Their food is amazing and staying in this hotel is so relaxing, especially after a day spent in Machu Picchu. Every single one of the staff is so friendly and makes sure you are as comfortable and happy as you can be. I especially loved how the hotel was just next to the river and the beautiful rooms they provided. I hope I can go back someday!
