Machu Picchu operates with specific entry shifts and limited capacity per hour.

Although the site remains open year-round, some areas may occasionally be closed for maintenance; if so, our expert guide will provide detailed explanations from the best vantage points to ensure you capture the full essence of this archaeological masterpiece.
