Only those with a confirmed return train ticket may be admitted to the Inca Trail




The Cusco’s National Institute of Culture (INC) reported that only those individuals with a confirmed return ticket will be admitted to the Inca Trail. This is part of the safety measures to be taken for the protection of local and foreign tourists once the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu reopen on April 1.

The decision was adopted in compliance with one of the agreements made at a Machu Picchu Historical Sanctuary Management Unit (UGM) meeting on March 16, in order to avoid unrest among visitors.

Cusco’s INC pointed out that flyers and information banners have been placed at the kilometer 82 of the railroad, in Piscacucho, and at the kilometers 104 and 122, entrances to Inca Trail.

Measures aim to provide security for the Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail.
