Reaching Machu Picchu by train is still the standard way, and Peruways books across both rail operators — PeruRail and Inca Rail — so you can compare schedules and classes in one place.
Services run the gamut: the budget-priced Expedition and Voyager, the mid-tier Vistadome and 360, and the premium Belmond Hiram Bingham, which turns the ride into a four-course meal with live Peruvian music on board.
Booking through Peruways consolidates the choice. The tool shows every service tier, departure window, and seat class in a single search, which cuts out the usual two-tab operator comparison. A couple of clicks and the e-ticket lands in your inbox.
If the plan shifts, Peruways’ team deals with the operators on your behalf — date changes, seat upgrades, extra passengers — rather than making you re-navigate each rail company’s own system.
The ride itself is worth sitting up for: three to four hours through the Urubamba gorge, with the Andes rising on either side. At Aguas Calientes you connect directly to the Consettur bus up to the citadel.
Book Machu Picchu train tickets through Peruways and lock the trip’s most scenic hours into one reservation.
