The train is the standard route to Machu Picchu, and the ride itself earns its reputation. Peruways books all three main services: PeruRail’s Expedition (the entry-level option with full windows), the Vistadome with its glass-paneled roof, and the Belmond Hiram Bingham, which runs lunch, cocktails, and live Andean music in Pullman-style carriages.
Booking through Peruways bundles the train with the Consettur shuttle up to the citadel and a licensed guide if you want one. Along the Vilcanota river, lunch service and commentary cover the sites you’re passing — Ollantaytambo, the Veronica peak, the point where the cloud forest starts.
