Best Train Tours to Machu Picchu all-inclusive tours. There are three different companies that operate trains from Cusco or Ollantaytambo train station to Machu Picchu: Inca Rail, Peru Rail, and Belmont Hiram Bingham Train.

You May Need Day Trip In Cusco
Inca Rail: offers the shortest journey time, at just over three hours you can only get onboard from Ollantaytambo.
Peru Rail Train: This is the most popular option. The train schedule is expensive according to the horaries, but it includes a stop at the Ollantaytambo train Station before arriving at Machu Picchu.
Belmont Hiram Bingham Train: This is the only company that offers luxury Train service, with an onboard bar and restaurant car. Ultimately, the best train company for you will depend on your budget and your travel preferences.
It’s best to book your train ticket as soon as you know your travel dates. Tickets can sell out weeks in advance, especially during peak months.
Train From Ollantaytambo Station
Don’t worry if you can’t find any train tickets from Cusco- there are always buses. Instead, try to buy a ticket to Aguas Calientes that departs from the town of Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley, or vice versa.
We can Take a taxi and minivan between these two locations (just over an hour and 40 min each way) are plenty. However, If you have the time and want to make a day out of it, plan an overnight stay in Ollantaytambo so you can explore the Incan history present throughout the village, streets, and buildings as well as visit delightful archaeological sites. => Sacred Valley Tour is Recommended.
Make sure you get there early enough to enjoy the sunrise light take your private transportation and avoid tour buses at each archeological site!
