The train from Cusco to Machu Picchu with PeruWays runs through the heart of the Peruvian Andes, winding past the Urubamba river, high-country villages and Inca ruins before dropping into Aguas Calientes.
PeruWays handles the booking end-to-end on comfortable PeruRail and Inca Rail services with panoramic windows. Settle into your seat; the roughly 3.5-hour run from Ollantaytambo loses altitude as it threads the valley, so each kilometre feels closer to the citadel.
It’s more than transit. Onboard, you’ll get a small Peruvian lunch or snack depending on the service, and the knowledgeable crew answer questions about the Sacred Valley you’re rolling through — handy context for the ruins at the other end.
With Peruways, the trip starts when you step aboard. First-timer or Peru regular, let Peruways handle the ticket and the connections. Reserve now and get the window seat booked before dates fill.
