Two tickets at most: the Tourist Ticket for the Inca sites of your route, and on the VIP routes the community ticket at the Maras salt mines. Neither is included in the tour price.

What each route needs, at a glance
The Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turístico) is the state ticket for the Inca sites. Which ones it needs to open depends on your route.

Where and how you pay
Both tickets are paid in soles, in cash, at the first site of the day: your guide gathers the group, explains the options and walks you to the window. If you prefer to settle everything before travelling, the WeTravel checkout lets you add the tickets to your booking. Rates are set by the issuers and can change; we confirm the current ones on WhatsApp the evening before.
or add them when you book: the WeTravel checkout lets you include them so you arrive with everything settled
Why we keep them out of the price
Three reasons. Travellers who already hold a Tourist Ticket from a Cusco city tour should not pay twice. Rates differ by nationality, age and student status, so one bundled price would be wrong for most people. And the Maras ticket goes to the community, not to any operator. Showing the entrances separately is what lets us publish the same US$29 to US$32 on every page and in the checkout. See the full price list.

It changes by nationality, age and student status; one price for all would be wrong for almost everyone.
The salt-mine entrance goes to the community, not to any operator.
