Reaching Machu Picchu by train is still the standard way, and Peruways consolidates the booking across both operators — PeruRail and Inca Rail — so you compare schedules and classes in one place.
Services run from the budget-priced Expedition and Voyager up to the premium Vistadome, 360, and the Belmond Hiram Bingham, which turns the ride into a four-course meal with live Peruvian music on board.
Booking through Peruways takes the search cross-operator and cross-station in one tool. The Ollantaytambo-to-Aguas-Calientes 90-minute leg is the busiest; the full Cusco-to-Aguas-Calientes route takes 3.5 to 4 hours. The checkout handles both.
If plans shift — date change, extra passenger, service upgrade — Peruways’ team deals with the operators directly rather than making you re-navigate each rail company’s system.
The ride itself is worth sitting up for: the Urubamba gorge, Andean peaks on either side, Inca terraces on the opposite slopes. 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.
