Machu Picchu, the tourist jewel of Peru, remains a top global destination, attracting over a million visitors each year. To ensure its preservation and enhance the experience of those who visit, the Ministry of Culture has reinforced its regulations in 2025, implementing stricter measures and optimizing access to the Inca citadel.
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu faces the challenge of growing tourism. In response, the Ministry of Culture has modernized its ticketing system, enforced stricter controls on the number of visitors, and established specific circuits with clearly defined routes. Currently, there are five main circuits, though the introduction of new routes is expected in the future to improve the distribution of tourists within the archaeological site.
