Machu Picchu Practical information

Health & safety

Dangers & annoyances

Inside the ruins, do not walk on any of the walls – this loosens the stonework and prompts an cacophony of whistle-blowing from the guards. Trying to spend the night here is also illegal, and guards do a thorough check of the site before it closes.
