Why is it Important to Buy Tickets in Advance?

Buying tickets in advance is essential for several reasons:

  • Limited Space: The Peruvian government limits the number of daily visitors to preserve the site. Waiting until the last minute could result in unavailability.
  • Choice of Times: By purchasing in advance, you can select times that suit your itinerary and preferences, avoiding the busiest hours.
  • Secure Planning: By purchasing in advance, you can plan your trip with greater security, ensuring that you will have access to Machu Picchu on the desired date.

Anticipation is essential, especially for the Machu Picchu + Huayna Picchu ticket, as the hike to Huayna Picchu is considered one of the best in the world. It is advisable to get this ticket 3 to 4 months in advance. In general:

  1. High Season (May to October): To ensure availability, purchase at least 3 to 4 months in advance.
  2. Low Season (November to April): Although you have more flexibility, it is advisable to purchase at least 1 to 2 months in advance.
