General Conditions

  1. Inca Rail agrees to transport the passenger to their destination with the amenities of the class corresponding to the class of service purchased.

  2. Passengers are transported to their destination upon payment of the travel ticket which, as of issuance and acquisition, represents agreement ON THE PART OF EACH PASSENGER to be bound to the terms and conditions herein, and their declaration to accept these conditions unconditionally and without reservation.

  3. No agent, operator, representative and/or official, or third person, has the power or the capacity to modify, restrict or extend the terms of this contract.

  4. This contract of carriage is subject to Peruvian law, in particular to the rules of the General Railways Regulation, as amended, and related regulations.

Booking and ticket purchase

To make use of the rail transport service, passengers must present a valid travel ticket, which must meet the following conditions:

  2. Must not be altered, defaced, or improperly issued, whether modified or falsified.

  3. The nominal value stated on the ticket must have been fully paid for prior to boarding the train.

In general, all children aged between 3 and 11 years old require a ticket for travel. However, adult passengers traveling with children aged up to 2 years may request exemption from payment of a ticket for that child provided that they are carried by an adult child passenger for the duration of the journey. To do so, the passenger must show the child’s ID card or passport at any of our ticket offices at least one hour before the departure time of the train. For security reasons a single adult passenger is permitted to carry only one child aged up to 2 years. If the case of an adult passenger traveling with two children aged up to 2 years, the second child will be assigned a seat and a child fare ticket must therefore be purchased, with only the first child entitled to travel free of cost.

Passengers are responsible for verifying the information displayed on their travel ticket to ensure it does not contain errors that cannot be rectified after purchase. Accordingly, passengers are asked to carefully review their tickets and to contact Inca Rail staff immediately should any errors be found.
