Taking kids to Machu Picchu is simpler than it sounds, and Peruways arranges the train portion with families in mind. The rolling stock is comfortable, bathrooms are clean, and the staff are used to small passengers.
On board you’ll find enough space to spread out, child-portioned meals on the longer services, and small activity packs — coloring books and card games — handed out to younger travelers. It’s not a theme park, but it’s a long way from the overnight bus.
The run from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes takes about 1h 30m and tracks the Urubamba river most of the way, through the lower end of the Sacred Valley. Kids tend to stay glued to the window; the scenery does the entertaining.
Contact Peruways to reserve seats on a family-friendly service and we’ll match the departure to your group size and nap schedule.
