Train to Machu Picchu
Train Options
During the booking process, you can choose the type of train to travel to Machu Picchu from Ollantaytambo, which will last approximately 1.5 hours. In both trains, there is a cafeteria service on board that you can enjoy at your own pace.
Please read the details for each train below:
Expedition Train
The Expedition Train will take you to Aguas Calientes, which is the gateway to Machu Picchu, gliding along one of the most spectacular railway routes in the world.
During the journey, you'll admire the Andean scenery that'll leave you lost for words. You'll love gazing out at the views from the train's large windows and admiring the landscapes.
Vistadome Train
If you choose the Vistadome Train, you'll travel to Machu Picchu in a fun and unique way. The carriages have scenic windows in the walls and ceilings that'll make you feel like you're part of the outside nature.
Plus, you'll have the chance to witness a small cultural parade and show with traditional music and dance, showcasing the authentic Peruvian art that makes this journey more than just a train ride.
Mid-Way Stop
The 7:04 pm train makes a mid-way stop at the Avenida Imperio de los Inkas, located in the town of Machu Picchu. Please note that this station is not the main stop.
