Peruways’ Machu Picchu train trips run from Cusco or Ollantaytambo down the Vilcanota river to Aguas Calientes. The route moves through the Sacred Valley with the Vilcanota tightening into a gorge as it drops.
Guides on the higher classes narrate what you’re passing — Ollantaytambo’s fortress and granaries, Veronica peak (5,750m), the point where the cloud forest closes in. On the Vistadome and Hiram Bingham there’s also food and bar service.
Through the Andean stretches, you see rugged ridgelines, valleys, and the Vilcanota winding below. Each bend of the river opens a different view.
At Aguas Calientes, Peruways continues with the Consettur shuttle up to the citadel and a guided tour — Temple of the Sun, Intihuatana, Royal Tomb, agricultural terraces.
Reserve the trip with Peruways.
