Sacsayhuamán tickets: Circuito I or Integral?
Sacsayhuamán tickets work through a personal sightseeing pass rather than a regular standalone ticket for this site. Circuito I covers Sacsayhuamán, Q’enqo, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay. It suits a visit focused on these four archaeological places. The Integral pass has wider coverage and a longer validity, making the rest of your itinerary the main reason to choose it.
Prices retrieved on 11 November 2026 are 70 PEN for the foreign adult Circuito I pass, valid for one day, and 130 PEN for the foreign adult Integral pass, valid for ten days. Those periods describe pass validity, not the duration of a visit or tour. Neither pass includes a guide or transport. Start with the places you want to enter, then arrange the journey between them.
Prices and documents for reduced admission
At the same retrieval date, the foreign student Integral tariff is 70 PEN. Ages ten to seventeen qualify with an identity document; ages eighteen to twenty-five require a valid student card or ISIC. Children up to and including nine enter free under the regular Boleto rules. Use the published student Integral category rather than assuming a matching reduction for Circuito I.
For Peruvians and eligible residents, the published Integral prices are 70 PEN for adults and 40 PEN for students; the Sacsayhuamán partial pass is 40 PEN. Residence eligibility requires supporting documentation. These categories should not be treated as a general discount for everyone travelling from a Latin American country.
Our pick: park pass and guide
This guided visit includes a pass for four archaeological sites and hotel transfers, subject to vehicle access.
Hand-picked tours, booked through Viator. Prices are indicative starting prices in US dollars (as of November 2026). Tap a tour for live availability and the current price in your currency.
A guided visit with the park pass
A bilingual guided visit can combine the four-site park pass with hotel pickup and return. Vehicle access restrictions affect collection at some hotels; this is a tour package rather than a standalone admission sale.
Personal purchase and the start of validity
The ticket office guidance retrieved on 11 November 2026 calls for buying the Boleto in person. The central sales point is at Avenida El Sol 103, Galerías Turísticas, with published sales hours of 07:30 to 18:00. Those are office hours, not permission to remain in the ruins until the office closes. The pass is personal, must be accompanied by an identity document and begins its validity on the day of purchase.
Advance purchase is not required under that guidance. Plan the purchase around your actual sightseeing day, especially with the one-day Circuito I pass. The announcement of gradual ticket digitalisation on 1 August 2026 should not be used as an instruction to reserve a regular visit online or obtain a regular-entry QR code. Follow the current ticket-office procedure for your travel date.
A guided package with the park pass is another way to organise the outing. The package described here includes admission for four archaeological sites, a live English and Spanish guide, and hotel pickup and return. Some hotels lie in streets with restricted vehicle access. Allow for that collection limitation when arranging your start. The package combines services; it is different from buying the official pass on its own.
Opening hours and planning your arrival
Published regular information gives a morning opening of 07:00. Plan a morning or comfortably early visit and check the current closing and last-entry arrangements before setting out. Do not leave your arrival until the end of the afternoon. For a circuit covering several places, each stop needs its own access planning; the validity of the pass does not establish a shared closing time.
The cultural authority’s notice dated 10 November 2026 suspends tourist visits on 15 November 2026. The notice ends on 15 November 2026. Its special-event QR arrangements are separate from regular sightseeing. Use the arrival guide for the journey and the nearby ruins guide for the other Circuito I stops.
Inti Raymi requires a separate event ticket
The Boleto covers regular archaeological visits, while paid Inti Raymi grandstands use an event ticket. Do not choose a regular ruin circuit as a substitute for festival admission. The Inti Raymi guide explains the difference and labels the past 2026 prices as historical. For ordinary guided visits, compare transport and guide arrangements separately from the pass.
During a regular visit, keep off the walls and do not use them as seating. The cultural authority’s undated visitor rules also prohibit bringing food, animals, alcohol or drugs, and prohibit camping. Drones and commercial filming require its permission. A level entrance does not make every part of the archaeological area equally accessible.
Questions about admission
Can I buy only Sacsayhuamán admission?
The regular system uses the Boleto Turístico rather than a standalone site ticket. Circuito I includes Sacsayhuamán and three neighbouring archaeological sites.
Does a ten-day pass include a guide?
The ten days are the Integral pass validity. Guiding and transport are separate services unless explicitly included in your chosen tour package.
When does the pass become valid?
Validity starts on the purchase day. Carry the personal pass together with your identity document and bring the appropriate evidence if claiming a student or resident tariff.
