Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between booking from Cusco vs. Ollantaytambo?
The main difference is travel time and starting point. Departing from Cusco offers a longer journey, allowing you to see more scenic views along the way. Meanwhile, Ollantaytambo stands as the favored and more accessible option, particularly if you find yourself staying in the Sacred Valley.
The majority of travelers lean towards Ollantaytambo for its shorter travel duration and the convenience of more frequent train schedules heading to Machu Picchu.
Do you offer round-trip train tickets or just one-way options?
We offer both! You can book one-way or round-trip train tickets to Machu Picchu directly on our website. This flexibility allows you to decide on your return journey according to your schedule and preferences.
If you're planning a packed itinerary, a one-way ticket might fit better. But if you want a fuss-free trip, round-trip tickets are a great choice.
What are the differences in window views between train classes?
Each of our train services offers a unique perspective on the stunning landscape.
- The Voyager boasts large side windows perfect for enjoying the mountain vistas.
- The 360° takes it a step further with panoramic windows and an open-air observatory car, enhancing your visual experience.
- The Prime y The First Class provide wide windows in an upscale, relaxed setting, allowing you to absorb the beauty of the Sacred Valley as you travel.
Are meals or snacks served on every train service?
It depends on the train service you have chosen.

- The 360° includes traditional Andean snacks and beverages as part of the experience.
- The Prime includes a gastronomic experience with snacks prepared with ingredients from the Andes.

What’s the best train for photographers or scenic views?
For those passionate about photography, The 360° is your best bet. With its panoramic windows and open-air observatory car, it ensures you won’t miss a single breathtaking view of the Andes. It's particularly magical in the morning light, providing some of the best landscape photo opportunities straight from your seat.
Is it better to take a morning or afternoon train to Machu Picchu?
The best time to travel depends on your itinerary. Morning trains are ideal if you're planning to explore Machu Picchu on the same day, allowing you to enjoy the cooler weather. Alternatively, afternoon departures offer the perfect setup for an overnight stay in Aguas Calientes, giving you the chance to visit the citadel early the next day.
How to get tickets to Machu Picchu if I’m outside Peru?
No worries if you're outside of Peru; you can easily buy tickets for Machu Picchu through our website. It's a hassle-free process allowing you to choose dates, classes, and even additional services. Once you've booked online, you'll receive a digital ticket via email.
How early should I arrive at the station before departure?
Arriving at least 30 minutes early at the station helps ensure a smooth and timely boarding process. This gives ample time for check-in, boarding, and addressing any last-minute queries. If you're en route from Cusco to Ollantaytambo first, be sure to account for extra travel time. Arriving early helps keep your trip smooth and stress-free.
