Backpacking South America: Machu Picchu, Peru
A typical visit to Machu Picchu costs about $174. That’s a ton of money in Peru. It’s especially painful knowing that a lot of that money is going into deep pockets, and not into preserving the ruins.
We managed to get there for $132.
That might not seem like a big saving, but the real value is in the time.
