Machu Picchu is reopening next month

One of the most popular wonders of the world is reopening to visitors next month. After closing to the public in March due to the pandemic, Machu Picchu is finally reopening on November 1 at 30 percent capacity. The famous Inca archaeological site will admit a maximum of 675 people each day in groups of eight (seven guests plus one guide).

All visitors will have their temperatures checked upon entry, groups must stay six feet apart from one another, and masks will be required. Trains and buses to the entrance will also operate at just 50 percent capacity. Visitors must purchase tickets in advance, and they’re likely to sell quickly. Tickets through November 14 sold out in approximately two days.

To make it feasible for people to actually visit, Peru is planning to reestablish flight schedules from cities in the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America. Only flights that are eight hours or shorter are permitted to land in Lima, so if you’re coming from the US you should probably expect a layover.
