Visiting Machu Picchu
Keep some one soles coins in your pocket. You’ll need them to access the
lone bathroom at the entrance to the site. To use the bathroom or grab
food, you’ll have to exit the gates, so bring your passport and hang onto
your ticket. You’ll need to show both to re-enter the citadel.
Don’t bring drones, umbrellas, or walking sticks or trekking poles since
they’re all prohibited at Machu Picchu. Travelers who require sticks or
poles for mobility can bring them in but only with protective rubber tips
over the ends.
Just outside the entrance gates, there’s a barely marked station where
you can get the novelty Machu Picchu stamp in your passport.
