Starting July 1, a new set of rules will go into place that will establish two daily visiting periods and will require a tour guide for visiting Peru's famous Machu Picchu site.

There will be a visiting period from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., and a second from 12 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., said PromPeru, Peru's tourism-marketing organization.

If a visitor would like to spend the entire day visiting the famed archaeological site, they must purchase two tickets, one for each visiting period.

A tour guide will be mandatory, and each guide will lead a maximum group size of 16 people.

The new rules were put into place "to ensure the adequate flow of tourist visits to the sanctuary," PromPeru said.
