Travelers starting in Cusco can use Inca Rail's Bimodal service, which combines a private van to Ollantaytambo with a train connection to Machu Picchu Pueblo (also known as Aguas Calientes). This town sits at the base of Machu Picchu mountain and serves as the final stop before entering the ancient citadel. The initial journey from Lima to Cusco takes approximately one hour and twenty minutes by plane.
For those already in Ollantaytambo, Inca Rail offers direct train service to Machu Picchu Pueblo. The journey takes approximately one hour and forty minutes, with passengers viewing the changing terrain as the train follows the Vilcanota river. The route passes through areas rich with architectural works and natural beauty characteristic of the Sacred Valley region.
Operating since 2009, Inca Rail transports visitors along a 67.5-mile (108.6-kilometer) narrow gauge railway track. The route descends from Cusco (11,437 feet above sea level) through the Sacred Valley to Ollantaytambo (9,176 feet) and continues to Aguas Calientes (6,693 feet). This gradual descent allows passengers to acclimate while enjoying views of the surrounding mountains and river valleys.
Inca Rail features four train services to accommodate different preferences and budgets. The Voyager offers an authentic Andean travel experience with essential comforts. The 360° train provides panoramic views through wider and taller windows. The Prime service delivers additional comfort with refined amenities. The First Class option presents the most luxurious experience with gourmet dining and observation lounges. Each service maintains consistent safety standards while taking passengers to Machu Picchu.
Trains depart daily from both Poroy Train Station in Cusco City and Ollantaytambo Train Station in the Sacred Valley, providing flexibility for travelers with different itineraries. The consistent schedule allows visitors to plan their Machu Picchu experience according to their preferred timing and duration.
Tickets for 2026 train journeys are now available, allowing travelers to secure their transportation to this significant archaeological site in advance. Early booking is recommended, particularly during peak tourist seasons when demand for train services increases substantially.
