Entrance tickets
COSTS OF INCOME TICKETS:
Tourist ticket: S / 70.00 Nuevos Soles (to enter the tourist centers of Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero). If I buy the integral tourist ticket to tour the City Tour, that ticket also serves to visit the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
IMPORTANT:
To visit the attractions of the sacred valley you have to buy the tourist ticket which is not included in the price of the tour. There are 2 ways to buy it.
o Partial Tourist ticket = 70 SOLES
o General Tourist ticket = 160 SOLES
If you are thinking to visit the sacred valley of the Incas only is enough to buy one of the 70 soles which has 4 places (Chinchero, Moray, Ollantaytambo, Pisac) has a duration of 2 days. If you are thinking to stay more days in Cusco to visit more places of interest such as, Sacsayhuaman, Pikillacta, some museums in the city of Cusco etc. We recommend buying the general tourist ticket that has 16 places to visit and lasts 10 days in which also is included the attractions of the sacred valley. For the salineras de maras (salt mines) there is always an extra cost of 10 soles, which is paid directly there since this attraction is communal administration and is not part of the tourist ticket
