And how is the train to Machu Picchu?

Hello, traveler! Have you ever wondered what the experience of traveling by train to Machu Picchu is like? Which service to choose, which is the most recommended, or with which company it is best to do it? I know these questions may come up, but today I’m here to help you solve them.

Many people come to Cusco with the dream of visiting Machu Picchu, one of the wonders of the world, and it is essential that you know this information, whether you travel on your own or with an agency like ours.

• There is no train that will take you to Machupicchu.
  Just as you read it, the last stop is Aguas Calientes, a small town from where you will have to take a bus that will take you to the Inca citadel or another option is to walk there.
• Peru Rail and Inca Rail are the only companies that offer this service.
  Both companies have different types of services that will perfectly fit your travel budget.
• You cannot influence your choice of seats.
  However, if you are traveling as a couple or with friends, you will most likely be able to sit next to each other.
