If you’re a citizen or resident of the Andean Community (Comunidad Andina)—Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, or Colombia—you are eligible for special discounted rates when purchasing tickets to visit Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

This benefit is part of a regional agreement to promote cultural exchange and tourism within the member countries. If you’re planning a trip, here’s everything you need to know about buying Machu Picchu tickets as an Andean Community traveler.

Who Qualifies for the Discount?

The discounted Andean Community rate applies to:

  • Citizens of Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, or Colombia (must present a valid national ID or passport).

  • Foreign residents of these countries (must present a valid foreign resident card issued by the immigration office of any of the four member nations).

Important: The discount is not available to travelers who are just visiting these countries as tourists from outside the region.

How Much Does It Cost?

Ticket prices for Andean Community citizens are significantly lower than the general international rate. As of 2025, the approximate cost for entry to Machu Picchu is:

  • General Entry (Llaqta de Machu Picchu): depending on age and category.

  • Additional hikes (like Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain) may incur extra charges but are also offered at reduced rates.

These prices can vary, so it’s best to check updated rates directly when booking.

Required Documents

To qualify for the Andean Community rate, you must upload a valid ID proving your citizenship or residency during the booking process. For foreign residents, your residency card must be valid and issued in one of the member countries.

Failure to present valid documents may result in being denied entry or being charged the full international rate on-site.
