Machu Picchu is Limmited no more than 2500 people per day
Last week, the local branch of Peru's National Institute of Culture (INC) has ruled that no more than 2,500 people could visit Machu Picchu per day, a move aimed at preventing damage to the site.
Hundreds of frustrated tourists began picketing the official ticket office in downtown Cusco, the former Inca capital that is three hours from the archaeological site.
The problems is more affected to people who comes to visit Machu Picchu by theirselves without getting any responsable travel agency.
huayna Picchu is not free right now and no more than 400 people per day
Huayna Picchu or Wayna Picchu (Quechua: "Young Peak") is a mountain in Peru around which the Urubamba River bends. It rises over Machu Picchu, the so-called "lost city of the Incas" and divides it into sections. The Incas built a trail up the side of the Huayna Picchu and built temples and terraces on its top. The peak of Huayna Picchu is about 2,720 metres (8,920 ft) above sea level, or about 360 metres (1,180 ft) higher than Machu Picchu.
According to local guides, the top of the mountain was the residence for the high priest and the local virgins. Every morning before sunrise, the high priest with a small group would walk to Machu Picchu to signal the coming of the new day. The Temple of the Moon, one of the three major temples in the Machu Picchu area, is nestled on the side of the mountain and is situated at an elevation lower than Machu Picchu. Adjacent to the Temple of the Moon is the Great Cavern, another sacred temple with fine masonry. The other major local temples in Machu Picchu are the Temple of the Condor and the Temple of the Sun
Until 3 weeks ago this place could be visited as free just getting up very early at 3:00 am and you used to have one cupon from 400 cupons that was allowed , but Now the Peru's National Institute of Culture (INC) give a new regulations that you wonn't have to get up really early , you just will pay extra cost to you entrance ticket to Machu Picchu.
