Is a Machu Picchu ticket necessary if I'm hiking to the Sun Gate and not visiting MP?

Hi there,

We will have a free day in MP, during which we're thinking of hiking near the ruins, for example to the Sun Gate. I'm wondering if we have to purchase an entrance ticket to MP in order to do that? Thanks for answering!

Yes..you have to pass through Macchu Picchu to get to the Sun Gate. Unless you have done the 4 day hike in which case you arrive at the Sun Gate before you enter the ruins.
