- Cusco Cathedral (Plaza de Armas)
- Qorikancha Temple of the Sun (Main interior gardens/convent require a separate S/ 15 ticket; only the underground site museum is on the BTC)
- Maras Salt Mines (Salineras de Maras – separate S/ 20 community ticket)
- Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca / Palccoyo) & Humantay Lake (Community access fees)
Important Operational Rules
- In-Person Only: The ticket cannot be bought online. You can buy it at the COSITUC main office (Av. El Sol 103) or directly at the entrance gate of any included site.
- Single Entry: Each ticket allows one-time entry per site within its validity window.
- ID Requirement: You must carry your original passport (or DNI for locals) when entering sites with the ticket.
Additional Imformation
- Children under 9 years old enter FREE across all circuits upon showing their passport/ID.

Cost-Saving Tip: Buying two partial tickets (Circuit 1 + Circuit 3) costs S/ 140. If your itinerary includes both the Cusco ruins and the Sacred Valley, always buy the Full Ticket (S/ 130) to save money and gain free entry to city museums.
