PeruRail is the main carrier on the Sacred Valley line, with trains leaving from Poroy near Cusco and Ollantaytambo for the ninety-minute run to Aguas Calientes. The classes range from Expedition (budget, air-conditioned) and Vistadome (panoramic windows, light meal) to the Belmond Hiram Bingham (five-hour Pullman service with gourmet dining).
Peruways books all three carriers — PeruRail, Inca Rail, and the handful of smaller operators — so you can compare schedules and classes in one place. Shuttles from Cusco hotels to Poroy or Ollantaytambo station come as an add-on, timed to the departure.
The ride itself tracks the Urubamba down from Andean grassland into cloud forest. Vistadome and the Inca Rail 360 give the clearest view through the panoramic windows; the Hiram Bingham swaps that for Pullman car interiors and a Belmond-standard dinner.
Reserve at Peruways once your dates are set — rolling stock sells out weeks ahead in high season.
