UNESCO listed Machu Picchu as a World Heritage Site in 1993, and the number of visitors to Machu Picchu has been non-stop every day. Therefore, the Peruvian government updated the relevant regulations for entering the site in July 2017, including visiting hours, visitor limits, mandatory guided tours, and asking tourists to follow the self-selected visiting routes to explore Machu Picchu.

There are many ways to get to Machu Picchu. One is to take a train directly from the ancient city of Cusco to Aguas Calientes and then transfer to a bus to Machu Picchu; another way is to hike the Inca Trail, with several route options available.Travelers choosing the Inca Trail must sign up with a local tour group. To protect the historical site and ensure tourist safety, the Peruvian government requires all visitors to travel as part of a group—no independent hiking on the Inca Trail is allowed.
