Trains to Machu Picchu - Peru Rail Services!

The train journey from Cusco to Machu Picchu is a truly spectacular experience. It zigzags up the high mountains and goes through lush valleys hugging the Urubamba river. Along the way you will enjoy great views of snowcapped Andes peaks in the distance. The following is basic information for tourists to have an idea of the Expedition, Vistadome and Hiram Bingham services Peru Rail offers.

Service in Train Expedition. This new service has large windows which allow you to enjoy the great scenery previous to your tours of Machu Picchu. The seats in the Expedetition service are comfortable and provides more departures along the day than the other 2 services. Overall not a lot of difference from the more expensive Vistadome service and offering better value for money. Buy train tickest online.

Service in Train Vistadome. This service has large windows on the sides and roof allowing you to enjoy the mountain scenery. A snack and hot drink are included with the Vistadome service. With the Vistadome you get posh leather seats which are very comfortable with more leg room than the Expedition service. However, the main advantage is that you arrive at Aguas Calientes just before the Expedition train.

Service in Train Hiram Bingham. This service is the most luxurious way to journey between Cusco and Machu Picchu and viceversa. The carriages are painted a distinctive blue and gold while interiors are luxurious, warm and inviting with elegant decoration in the style of the 1920's Pullman trains. Passengers are encompassed in a world of polished wood, gleaming cutlery and glittering glass. The train consists of two Dining Cars, an Observation Bar Car, and a Kitchen Car.

Tickets for the Expedition and Vistadome services often sell out many weeks/months in advance so make your train reservations as early as posible so that you can enjoy your grand tour of Machu Picchu.
