NEW RULES OF MACHU PICCHU 

While there is currently a loosely enforced time limit for tourist over the course of two daily shifts, the new Machu Picchu rules dictate that tourists will be strictly limited to four hours stays. Most visitors really don’t spend more than four hours exploring the archaeological site, on average. Officials need to exercise more control over the amount foot traffic at any given time to preserve the Inca sanctuary.

The new regulations mandate three daily shifts: one in the early morning (6 am to 9 am), one in the late morning (9 am to 12 pm), and one in the early afternoon (12 pm to 3 pm). Within these three shifts, tourists must sign up to enter at a certain hour (7 am, 1 pm, etc). This will help not only to regulate the number of visitors in the Inca Sanctuary at any given time, but also to standardize the schedule to minimize wait times outside the ruins.

The number of people allowed to enter the citadel per shift will be limited — 600 may enter at each hourly interval, so no more than 2,400 people will be in the ruins at a given time. Besides preventing overcrowding, officials say, this will help mitigate the impact of tourists on the sacred paths and stone stairs that crisscross Machu Picchu.

“Visiting Machu Picchu is a wonderful experience. Entrance to the Inca City is by shifts. Chaski Green will notified the entrance time to Machu Picchu as soon as it was booked and board the bus according to this time. In this way you will avoid unnecessary lines and help to keep the order of which you will be the prime beneficiary.
