The train from Cusco to Machu Picchu is the most scenic hour or two in Peru, and PeruWays books across both operators (PeruRail and Inca Rail) on both departure stations (Poroy and Ollantaytambo), which cuts the usual multi-site comparison down to one search.

From Cusco, the route runs down into the Sacred Valley and from Ollantaytambo onward threads the Urubamba gorge — near-vertical rock walls, the river running fast and green below, Inca terraces on the opposite slopes. PeruWays’ bookings cover the full range of services, from the budget Expedition and Voyager up through the premium Vistadome and Belmond Hiram Bingham.

The ride is comfortable regardless of class: oversized windows, onboard service, and short enough (90 minutes to four hours depending on where you board) that it never drags. PeruWays’ guides handle the transfer at Cusco and the connection at Aguas Calientes, so the Machu Picchu segment runs as one chain rather than four separate bookings.
