A train trip to Machu Picchu with PeruRail, booked through Peruways, is still the most comfortable way to reach the citadel. PeruRail runs multiple services at different price points, so you can match the ride to your budget.

Peruways coordinates the pieces that trip up most independent travelers — the Cusco-to-station transfer, the train tickets themselves, and the pickup at Aguas Calientes. Options range from the Vistadome, with its panoramic windows for Urubamba gorge views, to the Belmond Hiram Bingham, which turns the ride into a dining-car experience with live music.

Peruways’ guides share the history and culture of the Sacred Valley along the way, so the three-hour ride becomes part of the trip rather than a transfer to endure.
