New entry times to Machu Picchu<\/h2>\n

Admission schedules have undergone several changes over the years.
\nPreviously, it was allowed to enter and remain as long as desired, with the possibility of re-entry. This was modified in 2018, distributing visits in 2 groups (morning and afternoon), also with the possibility of re-entry.
\nDue to the increasing number of visitors, by 2019 and 2020 the entry rules have changed again, which are now in force.
\nNow the entry is made in 9 shifts, one every hour, from 06:00 to 14:00 hrs. The maximum residence time is 4 hours from the time of entry of your ticket. Example: If your ticket shows the entry time of 08:00 hrs, you can tour the citadel until 12:00 hrs.
\nAnother change is that now there is no re-entry, if you leave the citadel you will not be able to re-enter, this will be important to consider because the hygienic services are outside the citadel, therefore, you must use them before entering .
\nThere are 3 entry times to the Machu Picchu Mountain and Huayna Picchu Mountain, these are: 06:00, 07:00 and 08:00 hrs, each with a specific time of entry to the mountain. Each one allows you to tour the citadel and the mountain chosen for up to 6 hours after the entry time marked on your ticket, unlike the normal ticket, this allows the re-entry once to the citadel.<\/p>\n
