If you’re a foreigner residing in Peru and planning a trip to the iconic Machu Picchu, you might be wondering whether you’re eligible for local discounts. The good news is: yes, foreigners with legal residency in Peru can get a discounted ticket — but there are important details you need to know before booking.

Who Qualifies for the Resident Discount?

Machu Picchu offers special pricing not only for Peruvian citizens but also for foreign residents of Peru. If you are a foreigner legally residing in Peru, you are eligible for the resident rate — often significantly lower than the standard tourist price.

This discounted rate is available for:

  • Adult residents with legal status

  • University students with a Carné Universitario issued in Peru

What Do You Need to Show?

To access the discounted price, you’ll need to present:

  • Your CE (Carné de Extranjería) or official Peruvian residency document

  • Your passport (as additional identification)

  • If you’re a student: a valid Carné Universitario from a Peruvian institution

Important: International student cards like ISIC are not accepted for the resident discount — only Peruvian-issued student IDs qualify.

Can You Get the Discount Online?

Yes! But only if the booking platform allows you to choose the correct ticket type and supports resident pricing.

At PeruWays.com, we make it easy for foreigners residing in Peru to book Machu Picchu tickets online with the resident discount. Just select the appropriate category during checkout and be ready to show your documents when you visit.

How Much Will You Save?

The resident ticket price is usually 40–50% cheaper than the standard foreign tourist rate. You can get the discount on all major ticket types, including:

  • Machu Picchu Only

  • Machu Picchu + Huayna Picchu

  • Machu Picchu + Montaña

  • Machu Picchu + Huchuy Picchu

That’s a big saving — especially for families or groups living in Peru.

Don’t Forget Your ID!

Booking as a resident comes with a responsibility: you must bring valid proof of residency with you to the entrance. If you cannot show the required documents, you’ll be asked to purchase a full-price ticket — if tickets are still available that day.
