What is the Boleto Touristico of Cusco? — Cusco Tourist Ticket
The best way to get entry tickets for almost all sites
in Cusco and Sacred Valley areas is to purchase a Boleto Turistico – Tourist
Ticket. Most of the major archeaological sites can only be visited with the
boleto.
The full "Boleto General" ticket covers 16
archeological and cultural sites in all Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Southern
Valley. It costs S/ 130 and is valid for 10 days. If you are planning on
visiting several sites over more than 1 or 2 days, this is really the only way
to go. Students 25 years and under and carrying an ISIC ID and chilren can buy
the BT Estudiante for S/ 70. For Peruvian nationals, boletos are S/ 70 for the
Boleto General and S/ 40 for the Boleto de Estudiante.
Alternatively, there are 3 partial boletos (divided as
circuits or "circuitos") that can be purchased separately which allow
you to visit a sub-set of sites. The partial boletos are valid for 2 days. Each
circuit is S/ 70. For students if you stll want the partial it is still 70
soles.
