Online Scams in Lima

Fake Machu Picchu Online Ticket Seller

Fraudulent websites and social media accounts pose as official Machu Picchu ticket vendors, collecting payment for tickets that either do not exist or cannot be used at the entry gate. Peru's government-controlled ticketing system at culturacusco.gob.pe is the only legitimate source, but cloned sites with near-identical designs deceive thousands of visitors annually. Travellers arriving at Aguas Calientes without valid tickets face being turned away with no recourse.
