The Peruways train runs through the Andes to Machu Picchu, cutting out the trek while keeping the scenery.

Cars are modern with panoramic windows, which matters when the valley opens up along the Urubamba. Seats are spacious enough for a multi-hour ride without going numb.

It is not just a transfer. Onboard you get Peruvian food made from regional ingredients, drinks, and guides who talk through what Machu Picchu actually was before the tourism machine arrived.

Our team is used to running this trip and knows what tends to go wrong, which is the whole reason to book a packaged service rather than piece it together.
