The rail route from Cusco to Machu Picchu covers one of the most scenic stretches in South America. Peruways books across all three 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 Belmond’s Pullman 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 with Peruways and build the trip in one place.
