Rules
To preserve the beauty of the site there are some rules to visit Machu Picchu, they have been applied since January 2019.
Tickets are timed, so you have only one hour to visit the ancient Inca fortress.
The entry times have been limited, in fact the site is open only from 6:00 am to 2:00 pm.
In fact only few people a day can visit it, so it is important to buy tickets well in advance
Huayna Picchu
This is a small top near the site, the peculiarity is that only the first 400 people who buy the ticket can come up there. The landscape is amazing and there's a "secret" temple, the Temple of the moon, which you can reach following a path to the top of the mountain.
