Entrance fees to Machu Picchu are not endorsable, refundable and do not allow name changes. If the passenger authorises purchasing it and then does not travel, he or she simply loses it.
Make sure to confirm your reservation and provide the necessary information for Machu Picchu tickets as soon as possible, as they are limited in availability and non-refundable.
