The train to Machu Picchu, booked through Peruways, is as much part of the trip as the ruins themselves. Services run from Cusco or Ollantaytambo through the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes.
Starting Points: Cusco and Ollantaytambo
Most travellers start from Ollantaytambo rather than Cusco — the ride is ~1.5 hours versus closer to 3.5, and the scenery is denser in the Sacred Valley segment. Ollantaytambo itself is worth a half-day for its Inca ruins and the original Inca street grid.
Train Options to Suit Every Preference
Peruways carries both PeruRail and Inca Rail services, which cover every budget band.
The Luxurious Vistadome Train
Panoramic side windows and a glass roof. Spacious seats, a small meal and a brief cultural element onboard. The pick for most travellers who want the full view without the Hiram Bingham price tag.
The Budget-Friendly Expedition Train
Same route, cheaper fare. Comfortable seating, big windows, no glass roof. For travellers who want the ride without the premium.
Seamless Experience with Expert Guidance
Peruways handles the ticket, the Consettur shuttle up from Aguas Calientes and the Machu Picchu entry in one booking, so the three parts stay aligned by time.
Our team runs a WhatsApp line in case of delays or train rebookings. At the citadel, Peruways’ certified guides can add a half- or full-day tour depending on your circuit.
An Unforgettable Journey
The ride through the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu with Peruways is a trip in its own right — not just transit.
Pick the Vistadome or the Expedition and the ride comes out well. Peruways takes care of the rest.
