“Tren Cusco” is the catch-all phrase for the trains that leave the Cusco region for Machu Picchu — PeruRail from Poroy station (seasonal, 30 minutes outside the city centre) and Inca Rail from Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley. Peruways books both operators and all six service classes.
From Poroy, the full ride to Aguas Calientes is about three and a half hours; from Ollantaytambo it’s ninety minutes down the Urubamba Valley. Vistadome (PeruRail) and 360° (Inca Rail) have the panoramic ceiling windows and the onboard dance performance on the way back. Expedition and Voyager run the same tracks at a lower fare.
At Aguas Calientes, you connect to the Consettur bus up 13 switchbacks to the citadel gate. Peruways sells the train, Consettur bus and entrance ticket in one checkout — one booking reference instead of three.
Book your Tren Cusco service at Peruways; in dry season (June–August), reserve 30 days ahead at a minimum.
