Peruways books every service tier of the Machu Picchu train — PeruRail and Inca Rail, Expedition through Vistadome to the Belmond Hiram Bingham at the top — in a single reservation with your Consettur bus and timed entry.
From Ollantaytambo (the usual departure point now, since Poroy went to reduced service after the pandemic) the track follows the Urubamba downstream for about 1h30, through a deepening gorge. The scenery is identical across all tiers — the premium gets you seat width, meals and the glass roof.
Reserve the day at Peruways. Dry-season dates sell out six to eight weeks ahead, especially around Inti Raymi (24 June) and Fiestas Patrias in late July.
