Overview

Passengers board the Machu Picchu 360° train by Inca Rail to travel through the Andes with panoramic views from an open-air observatory car. This train ride lasts between two and four hours and includes snacks made from local ingredients along with a variety of hot and cold drinks such as tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages. The train features panoramic windows, air conditioning, USB charging ports, onboard restrooms, and live music for comfort and entertainment during the journey. Travelers can start their trip from the San Pedro stations in Cusco, Poroy, or Ollantaytambo, boarding the train bound for Machu Picchu Pueblo station. An alternative Bimodal service combines a bus ride from Av. El Sol 843 in Cusco to Ollantaytambo with the train ride onward to Machu Picchu Pueblo, recommended between January and April due to weather conditions affecting departures from San Pedro and Poroy. The ticket for the train does not include entrance to the Machu Picchu archaeological site, the bus to and from Machu Picchu town operated by Consettur, or a guided tour of the citadel. Passengers should arrange these separately if they wish to visit the Inca site itself.

Machupicchu

Machu Picchu is an Inca city built on a mountain top, consisting of temples, platforms, and water channels constructed with large stone blocks fitted without mortar. It served as a political, religious, and administrative center during the Inca period and is recognized as a cultural heritage site. Travelers can board the train to Machu Picchu Pueblo station from San Pedro stations in Cusco, Poroy, or Ollantaytambo. The Bimodal service combines a bus ride from Av. El Sol 843 in Cusco to Ollantaytambo and then the train to Machu Picchu Pueblo. This option is advised from January to April due to weather-related restrictions on departures from San Pedro and Poroy.
