Taking the train in Peru

Peru has several train services of interest to visitors, including the famous train to Machu Picchu where a confusing array of trains run by two different operators compete to take you to the Inca ruin from various different starting points in or outside Cusco - this page explains the options.

There are two separate networks in Peru, the southern network which includes Cusco to Machu Picchu & Cusco to Puno on Lake Titicaca and the northern network which links Lima with Huancayo.

Cusco to Machu Picchu

  The ruined Inca citadel at Machu Picchu

Cusco is the base city for visiting the famous Inca ruins at Machu Picchu and it's where most visitors stay.  It takes several days to hike up the Sacred Valley on foot on the Inca Trail, so most tourists take a train from Cusco to Machu Picchu on the historic 3' gauge Santa Ana Railway.  There are two competing train companies, both offer a range of trains & classes to suit different budgets:

Trains to Machu Picchu leave from 4 possible locations:

Option 1, by local train from Cusco

This is only an option if you're a Peruvian national.  The local is a subsidised daily service for Peruvians, leaving from Cusco's San Pedro station in downtown CuscoFor the record, here are the times of the Local:

Option 2, by tourist train from Cusco

This is the best option, a top tip you won't hear from the train operators or tourist websites, so listen up!

From 2009 until 2019, the only train to Machu Picchu leaving from Cusco's original downtown San Pedro station was the Local for Peruvian nationals which tourists can't use.  Tourist trains started from Poroy, an inconvenient 20-minute 13 km (8 mile) bus or taxi ride outside Cusco.  This meant missing out on a remarkable section of railway between Cusco & Poroy where the train climbs up the mountainside out of Cusco using a series of five switchbacks, known locally as El Zig-Zag

Inca Rail resumed running from Cusco San Pedro station in May 2019 and two PeruRail trains were extended to start there shortly afterwards.  In 2023 Inca Rail is no longer serving Cusco San Pedro, but those two PeruRail trains still do, so are now the best trains to take.  By leaving directly from Cusco San Pedro Station, you can (a) leave conveniently from downtown Cusco avoiding an 8-mile bus or taxi ride and (b) enjoy the whole historic original railway experience from downtown Cusco to Machu Picchu, including the scenic ascent of El Zig-Zag.

True, the train takes an hour from Cusco to Poroy, a bus or taxi takes 20 minutes, but as you'd have to allow for a safe margin between taxi & train at Poroy in practice there's little real time lost taking the train all the way and you're here for the experience after all.  Both trains offer Expedition & Vistadome accommodation:

Expedition is the budget option, from around $60 each way per person.  It has basic but reasonably comfortable seating with panoramic windows and a buffet car where you can buy non-alcoholic drinks and snacks.  In many ways it's not really that different from the Vistadome.  See the Expedition photo below.

Vistadome is the mid-range option, costing around $100 per person including complimentary snacks & non-alcoholic drinks served at your seat.  It's a series of diesel railcars with panoramic windows as its name suggests, see the Vistadome photos below.

Important:  In the rainy season from January to April, Perurail operate a reduced service and Inca Rail trains to/from Cusco San Pedro & Poroy do not operate.

Poroy to Machu Picchu is 86 km (54 miles). Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu is 38 km (24 miles).

Poroy is 3486 metres above sea level, Ollantaytambo 2600m, Machu Picchu 2350m.

PeruRail train to Machu Pichu climbs the zig-zag out of Cuzco

Ascending El Zig Zag.  The train from Cusco San Pedro station to Machu Picchu is ascending the switchbacks up the escarpment out of Cuzco: It has zigged up the track in the photo and is now on a zag.  You only experience this if you book one of the two daily PeruRail trains that start from Cusco San Pedro. If you book a 'Bimodal' service involving a bus from downtown Cusco to Poroy, Urubamba or Ollantaytambo, you miss out.  Photo courtesy of Chris Silvester.

Option 3, by tourist train from Poroy

Some PeruRail tourist trains leave from Poroy, a local halt 13 km (8 miles) west of Cusco.

How do you get to Poroy?  You'll need to take a bus or taxi from downtown Cusco to Poroy.  A 3-seat taxi from Cusco to Poroy costs around 20-30 soles (£4-£6 or $6-$9) per taxi, and takes around 20 minutes.  There's a local bus for 6 soles per person.

In the rainy season from January to April PeruRail operate a 'bimodal' service by bus from Cusco to Pachar station to pick up the train there, the trains don't start at Poroy during this period.  So even more bus, even less train...

Which train to choose?  How much does it cost?  PeruRail run four different trains, aimed at different budgets:

PeruRail's Expedition (formerly the Backpacker), the budget option from around $60 each way per person, with basic but comfortable seating with panoramic windows and a buffet car where you can buy non-alcoholic drinks & snacks.  It's not really that different from the Vistadome.  See the Expedition photo below.

PeruRail's Vistadome, the mid-range option costing around $95 per person including complimentary snacks & non-alcoholic drinks served at your seat.  It's a series of diesel railcars with panoramic windows as its name suggests, see the Vistadome photos below.

Belmond's Hiram Bingham.  This is the super-deluxe option and the most expensive, from around $500 each way per person, including gourmet brunch on the way out and dinner on the way back, a selection of Peruvian wine, cocktails, entertainment, bus connections & entrance to the Machu Picchu citadel plus guided tour.  A real luxury experience, just a shame it starts from Poroy not Cusco San Pedro station!  See the Hiram Bingham photos below.

Option 3, by tourist train from Urubamba

Urubamba is 53 km (33 miles) from Cusco, and the next best option to joining a train at Poroy.  Only PeruRail operate from Urubamba.

PeruRail run one Vistadome train from Urubamba to Machu Picchu at 06:50 arriving 09:25, returning from Machu Picchu to Urubamba at 15:48 arriving 18:43.  Check current times at www.perurail.com.

Option 4, by shuttle train from Ollantaytambo

If you can't get a ticket for one of the PeruRail trains starting from Cusco San Pedro, Poroy or Urubamba, don't worry, there are many shuttle trains from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu, some run by PeruRail, others by Inca Rail.  Ollantaytambo is 89 km (56 miles) from Cusco, 1h40 by taxi, so it's a longer bus or taxi ride, shorter train ride.  Inca Rail offer an integrated Bimodal service by bus from Cusco to Ollantaytambo then train to Machu Picchu. 

Buy entry tickets to the Inca ruins at www.machupicchu.gob.pe

Buy train tickets at www.bookaway.com

Transfer from station to the Inca ruins

The station referred to as 'Machu Picchu' is in fact located in the local town of Aguas Calientes, approximately 8 km (5 miles) from the ruined Inca city of Machu Picchu.  A bus link runs every 30 minutes from the station to the ruins costing US$ 24 return, payable in US$ or local Peruvian currency.  To find out more about the Inca ruins, see www.peru-machu-picchu.com or www.machupicchu.org.

What's the journey like?

Two PeruRail Vistadome/Expedition trains leave from Cusco's main San Pedro station on the Avenida Sol and spend half an hour climbing a series of Switchbacks or zig-zags up the mountainside to gain height, reaching the local halt at Poroy an hour after leaving Cusco.  Most other PeruRail trains start from Poroy (including the Hiram Bingham, which has always started here) and so miss this interesting section.  After Poroy the train descends into the Sacred Valley and the Andean foothills, along the Urubamba river.  You'll pass colourful villages and herds of llamas.  Cusco to Machu Picchu is 107 km (67 miles), Poroy to Machu Picchu is 86km (54 miles).  The best views are on the left hand side of the train going up to Machu Picchu and on the right hand side returning, as the train follows the river and this is the side which the river is on, with the odd Inca ruin or terrace visible as the train runs along the Sacred Valley.  PeruRail won't assign seats on a particular side, but you can easily move over if there are empty seats after departure.

What are the trains like?

PeruRail Expedition trains

This is PeruRail's cheapest option and perfectly comfortable.  Food & drink can be bought on board, but it's not complimentary as it is on the Vistadome.  Expedition class accommodation is also available on both the direct trains from Cusco San Pedro.

PeruRail Vistadome trains

This is the mid-range option, a good choice and it's available on both the direct trains from Cusco San Pedro.  The price includes complimentary snacks & non-alcoholic drinks served at your seat.  As you can see, there are roof windows for better viewing the peaks...

Belmond's luxury Hiram Bingham

This is the luxury option, the most expensive of the trains to Machu Picchu and in a category all by itself.  This luxurious train ride includes a gourmet brunch on the outward trip and dinner on the way back, a selection of Peruvian wine, cocktails, entertainment, bus connections, Machu Picchu entrance fee and a guided tour.

The local

Not an option unless you are a Peruvian citizen.  A daily subsidised train for locals between Cusco & Aquas Calientes.  Local trains also run 3 times a day between Machu Picchu and Hydroelectric station (for the Machu Picchu hydroelectric power station), 40 minutes beyond Machu Picchu.

Cusco to Puno, Lake Titicaca

PeruRail also run two excellent trains between Cusco & Puno on Lake Titicaca, a scenic 385 km. 

The Andean Explorer cruise train is relatively new, it started running in May 2017.  Before 2017 there was only a daytime train called the Andean Explorer - the name Andean Explorer now applies to the new luxury cruise train, the old daytime Andean Explorer is now renamed the Perurail Lake Titicaca train.  Bear that in mind when looking at reviews or info from past years on the internet!

Lima to Huancayo & Huancavelica

The railway between Peru's capital Lima and Huancayo was once the highest railway in the world, until the Chinese built the line to Lhasa in Tibet.  The air-conditioned Tren de Sierra links Lima & Huancayo once or twice a month (outside the November-April rainy season, at least), with touristico (1st) class & clasico (2nd) class & bar car.  The Touristico fare is around 385 Soles ($125 or £80) and includes breakfast and complimentary tea, coffee, water and soft drinks.  Clasico fares start at 230 Soles ($75 or £50).  You can check departure dates & book tickets online at www.ferrocarrilcentral.com.pe.  In Lima, the train departs from Desamparados or Monserrate stations.  Bear in mind that the high altitude doesn't suit everyone!

Huancayo to Huancavelica

Until some years ago, twice daily trains used to link Huancayo with Huancavelica.  The route then ceased for several years but in 2015 this line was back in action.  It's now out of action again, although a small 57km section was reopened in early 2023.

Traveller Thomas Gisler reports (September 2015): "The famous Huancayo - Huancavelica railway (the 'Macho Train') is back to service! It is scheduled three times a week, leaving Huancayo on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 06:30 and leaving Huancavelica on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 06:30. as well.  The duration of the trip is roughly six hours though it can easily last longer.  The journey can be done as a long day trip, taking local transport from Huancavelica back to Huancayo but an overnight stay in Huancavelica is much more convenient.

On the day of my visit there was a huge queue at the train station in Huancayo as early as 05.45.  There is no seat reservation or booking of tickets in advance in Huancayo, so be early at the train station to avoid disappointment!  Ticket prices are very cheap at 9 soles (less than $1) 2nd class and 13 soles in the buffet car, also referred to as "first class".  This is the last remaining 'non-tourist-train' in Peru, serving the locals and offering a unique train experience to the few tourists who make it there despite the lack of any information available online. The journey is very scenic as the train is following the valley and its river, passing through tiny little villages.  On arrival in Huancavelica it is possible to buy the ticket back to Huancayo for the following day, which is definitely a good idea.

Hotels in Peru

Find hotels at Booking.comMy favourite hotel search: www.booking.com

Booking.com is my favourite hotel booking site and I generally use it to book all my hotels in one place.  I've come to trust booking.com's review scores, you won't be disappointed with any hotel that scores 8.0 or more.  Crucially, booking.com usually lets you book with free cancellation, which means you can confirm accommodation risk-free before train booking opens and/or you can hold accommodation while you finalise your itinerary and alter your plans as they evolve - a feature I use all the time when planning a trip.  I never book hotels non-refundably!

Backpacker hostels

www.hostelworld.com:  If you're on a tight budget, don't forget about backpacker hostels.  Hostelworld offers online booking of cheap private rooms or dorm beds in backpacker hostels in most cities at rock-bottom prices.


Flights to Peru

Overland travel by train around South America is an essential part of the experience, so once there, don't cheat and fly, stay on the ground!  But if a long-haul flight is unavoidable to reach it in the first place, try  Virgin Atlantic who now fly from the UK to India, a good choice for both price and service.

Travel insurance & other tips

 

Staysure travel insurance

 

Columbus Direct logo

Always take out travel insurance

Never travel overseas without travel insurance from a reliable insurer, with at least £1m or preferably £5m medical cover.  It should also cover cancellation and loss of cash and belongings, up to a sensible limit.  An annual multi-trip policy is usually cheaper than several single-trip policies even for just 2 or 3 trips a year, I have an annual policy with Staysure.co.uk myself.  Here are some suggested insurers.  Seat61 gets a small commission if you buy through these links.

UK flag  www.staysure.co.uk offers enhanced Covid-19 protection & gets 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot.

UK flag  www.columbusdirect.com is also a well-know brand.

US flag  If you live in the USA try Travel Guard USA.

 

Maya.net logo

Get an eSIM with mobile data package

Don't rely on WiFi, download an eSIM with a mobile data package for the country you're visiting and stay connected.  Most newer mobile phones can download a virtual SIM card so you don't need to buy a physical SIM, including iPhone 11 & later, see device compatibility listMaya.net is a reliable eSIM data retailer with a 4.5 out of 5 Trustpilot rating and a range of packages including unlimited data.

 

Curve card

Curve card

Get a Curve card for foreign travel

Most banks give you a poor exchange rate, then add a foreign transaction fee on top.  A Curve MasterCard means no foreign transaction fees and gives you the mid-market exchange rate, at least up to a certain limit, £500 per month at time of writing.  The money you spend on your Curve card goes straight onto one of your existing debit or credit cards.

How it works:  1. Download the Curve app for iPhone or Android.  2. Enter your details & they'll send you a Curve MasterCard - they send to the UK and most European addresses.  3. Link your existing credit & debit cards to the app, you can link up to two cards with the free version of Curve, I link my normal debit card and my normal credit card.  4. Now use the Curve MasterCard to buy things online or in person or take cash from ATMs, exactly like a normal MasterCard. Curve does the currency conversion and puts the balance in your own currency onto whichever debit or credit card is currently selected in the Curve app.  You can even change your mind about which card it goes onto, within 14 days of the transaction.

I have a Curve Blue card myself, it means I can buy a coffee on a foreign station on a card without being stung by fees and lousy exchange rates, just by tapping the Curve card on their card reader.  The money goes through Curve to my normal debit card and is taken directly from my account (in fact I have the Curve card set up as payment card on Apple Pay on my iPhone, so can double-click my phone, let it do Face ID then tap the reader with the phone - even easier than digging a card out).  I get a little commission if you sign up to Curve, but I recommend it here because I think it's great.  See details, download the app and get a Curve card, they'll give you £5 cashback through that link.

 

Express VPN

Get a VPN for safe browsing.  Why you need a VPN

When you're travelling you often use free WiFi in public places which may not be secure.  A VPN encrypts your connection so it's always secure, even on unsecured WiFi.  It also means you can select the geographic location of the IP address you browse with, to get around geoblocking which a surprising number of websites apply.  See VPNs & why you need one explainedExpressVPN is a best buy with a 4.7 out of 5 Trustpilot ranking which I use myself - I've signed up as an ExpressVPN affiliate, and if you go with expressvpn.com using the links on this page, you should see a special deal, 3 months free with an annual subscription.  I get a small commission to help support this site.

 

Anker Powerrbank

Carry an Anker powerbank

Tickets, reservations, vaccination records and Interrail or Eurail passes are often held digitally on your mobile phone, so it's vital to keep it charged.  I always carry an Anker powerbank which can recharge my phone several times over if I can't get to a power outlet.  Buy from Amazon.co.uk or from Buy from Amazon.com.
