The Sacred Valley train is one of the easier ways to see the Andean highlands without hiking. Terraced fields, Inca ruins, and Andean villages run along the whole route.
The ride starts in Ollantaytambo and follows the Urubamba toward Machu Picchu. The valley narrows as you go, with green cliffs replacing the open fields of the upper valley.
Service tiers include the Vistadome, with full panoramic windows and onboard music and food, and the Expedition, a comfortable standard-class option with the same scenery. Both are solid; the difference is amenity level.
Book with Peruways and the planning side handles itself. Book train tickets and go.
