The rail route from Cusco to Machu Picchu covers one of the most scenic stretches in South America. Peruways handles bookings across all three main services — PeruRail Expedition, Vistadome, and the Belmond Hiram Bingham.

Trains leave from Poroy (just outside Cusco) or Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley. The full Cusco run is about 3.5 hours; from Ollantaytambo you’re down in Aguas Calientes in roughly 1 hour 45 minutes.

Classes differ in comfort and food, not route. Vistadome adds roof panels; the Hiram Bingham is the Belmond flagship — lunch, cocktails, live Andean music.

Peruways pairs the train with the Consettur shuttle up to the citadel and the entry ticket, so one booking covers the day. Reserve at Peruways.
