Peruways’ train service to Machu Picchu runs the standard Cusco-Ollantaytambo-Aguas Calientes corridor with a focus on comfort and bundled logistics — the train, the Consettur bus from Aguas Calientes, the timed-entry citadel ticket, the licensed Peruvian guide, all under one booking.
The ride itself follows the Urubamba gorge from the Sacred Valley down into cloud forest at Aguas Calientes (2,040 m). From Ollantaytambo the trip takes 90 minutes; from Cusco three and a half hours.
Class options range from the budget Expedition and Voyager (standard carriages, snacks for purchase) through the panoramic Vistadome and 360 (wraparound glass, skylight panels, included snacks) to the Hiram Bingham (lounge car, five-course meal, pisco sours, live Andean music).
Our guides are licensed Peruvian historians, not script-readers. The brief on the citadel’s construction technique, chronology and solstice alignments adds up to roughly two hours on the three ticketed circuits.
Reserve at Peruways.
