There are 15 types of entrance tickets: 9 are for the visit of Machu Picchu only, 3 to visit Machu Picchu and Wayna Picchu, and 3 to visit Machu Picchu and Machu Mountain.

H for Machu Picchu (ex: Machu H8) indicates the minimum time to enter Machu Picchu, without a maximum time. For instance, Machu H8 is to enter Machu Picchu starting at 8 am.

H for Wayna Picchu (ex: Wayna H7) and Mountain (ex: Mountain H7) indicates the minimum time to enter the site, within the hour. For instance, Wayna H8 is to enter Wayna Picchu between minimum 8 am and maximum 9 am.

Examples:

Machu H8: Entry to Machu from 8 am.

Machu H7 + Wayna H7: Entry to Machu from 7 am + entry to Wayna between 7 am and 8 am.

Machu H6 + Mountain H7: Entry to Machu from 6 am + entry to Mountain between 7 am and 8 am.

A ticket is valid for a specific entry time and for approximately 4 hours. For example, the ticket for Machu Picchu H10 is to enter from 10 am and leave 4 hours later.
