Boleto Turístico & Boleto Religioso
To visit most sites in the region, you will need Cuzco's official boleto turístico (tourist
ticket; adult/student under 26 with ISIC card S130/70) , valid for 10 days. Among the 17
sites included are: Sacsaywamán, Q'enqo, Pukapukara, Tambomachay, Pisac, Ol-
lantaytambo, Chinchero and Moray, as well as an evening performance of Andean dances
and live music at the Centro Qosqo de Arte Nativo. While some inclusions are admitted
duds, you can't visit any of them without it.
Three partial boletos (adult/student S70/35) cover the ruins immediately outside Cuzco,
the museums in Cuzco, and the Sacred Valley ruins. They are valid for one day, except for
the Sacred Valley option, which is valid for two.
Purchase boletos turísticos from Dircetur/Cosituc ( 261-465;
www.boletoturisticocusco.com ; La Municipalidad, office 102, Av El Sol 103; 8am-6pm
Mon-Fri) or at the sites themselves, except for the Centro Qosqo de Arte Nativo. Students
must show valid ID.
The boleto religioso (religious tourist ticket; adult/student S50/25) , valid for 10 days,
secures entry to Cuzco's churches, the Museo de Arte Religioso and Cuzco's most signi-
ficant display of contemporary art at Museo Quijote. It's available at any of the sites.
MAIN POINTS OF ENTRY
National flights arrive at Cuzco's Aeropuerto Internacional Alejandro Velazco Astete but plans are pending to
build an airport in the Sacred Valley near Chinchero. Buses (including international routes) go to the Terminal
Terrestre in Cuzco.
Need to Know
» Those arriving from lower altitudes may experience altitude sickness. Take it easy the
first few days of your visit or start in the slightly lower Sacred Valley.
