The train to Machu Picchu is as much of the trip as the citadel itself. Peruways handles the full chain: hotel pickup in Cusco, transfer to Poroy or Ollantaytambo station, and a seat on PeruRail bound for Aguas Calientes.
Service tiers range from the Vistadome, with panoramic side and roof windows for the Urubamba gorge views, up to the Belmond Hiram Bingham, a 1920s-style Pullman with four-course lunch, live music and an open observation car. Expedition remains the budget option and still gets you there.
A Peruways guide meets you in Aguas Calientes and walks the citadel with you, pointing out the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Three Windows and the agricultural terraces that fed the complex.
Book your PeruRail package through Peruways for a single confirmation covering trains, bus up to the citadel and guided entry.
