• IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW ENTRANCE REGULATIONS TO MACHU PICCHU The current restrictions on visits to Machu Picchu allow a maximum stay of 4 hours in the citadel accompanied by a guide during the first entry. If the visitor tours an alternate route (Mountain Machu Picchu or Huayna Picchu) he/she will have 3 hours for this in addition to the 4 hours in the citadel. If the passenger wishes to enter the citadel again during the afternoon shift or the next day, he must previously acquire an additional ticket to enter during the new shift. There is no ticket sale point in the archaeological zone. The following objects are forbidden within the premises: professional cameras that require lights and tripods, or are equipped with telephoto lenses weighing more than 2 kilos (in order to use them, special authorisation and an additional fee is required), drones, selfie sticks, sprays, high heels, walking sticks without rubber tips, banners and posters, sharp objects and backpacks that surpass the following measurements: 40cm x 35 cm x 20 cm.
• INSTRUCTIONS Carry the same document that you presented to the agency, as the train tickets and entrance to Machu Picchu will be issued with the same information. In all train services to Machu Picchu, passenger can carry only one piece of hand luggage (backpack, bag or briefcase) weighing no more than 5 kg. You will find your luggage at the chosen hotel. Allowed size: 157 cm (height + length + width)
• NEW PLASTIC REGULATION: After the prohibition of bringing single-use plastic items into the 76 natural reserves, including Machu Picchu, it is important to use reusable bottles. Lima Tours offers a water refilling point in our office in Aguas Calientes.
