| TRAIN TRANSPORTATION
From the city of Cusco you may reach by train destinations such as Ollantaytambo, Aguas Calientes, Quillabamba, Puno and Arequipa. When arriving in Ollantaytambo, the traveler may access all the cities in the Sacred Valley (Calca, Urubamba o Písac). From Aguas Calientes, you may go to the mythical Citadel of Machu Picchu. You can buy your tickets for these destinations in the train station or in some travel agency. The price ranges according to the class and must be acquired some days in advance. CUSCO - MACHUPICCHU - CUSCO Impressive and majestic, these are the adjectives that describe the travel by train from Cusco to Machu Picchu. An incredible travel, that goes through the Andean Mountains and which scenario is really spectacular, above all, if you watch it from the panoramic vehicles that have been recently renewed. A travel that lasts three hours and a half going through amazing mountainous landscapes. First, you must face a rugged climb in "zig zag" up to the mountains surrounding the city. Then, you will stop at the beautiful town of Poroy, to subsequently go down to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. An exuberant vegetation of green and colorful fields at the foot of the Andes will welcome you, followed by beautiful mountains buried deep in the dramatic canyon and the majestic Urubamba River, which crosses the whole Sacred Valley of the Incas. Railroad Terminals An enjoyable trip option is to visit the Imperial city of Cusco by train. There are two stations: - San Pedro Station, in Cusco - And the terminal of Wanchac, situated in Pachacutec avenue, where the trains from Puno and Arequipa arrive.

ROUTE SACRED VALLEY- MACHU PICCHU For those people who desire to stay longer in the Heart of the Sacred Valley, there is an option to take the train and enjoy the same wonders but in a shorter trip, leaving from Ollantaytambo or from Urubamba. Here prices and schedule CUSCO - LAGO TITICACA Another trip of astonishing visual adventure starting in Cusco and going by the South towards the historical city of Puno, at the bank of the Titicaca Lake. Along the way you will admire the magnificent Andean geography that is surrounding the deep valleys where the Huatanay River passes. Arriving at the high Plateau, we can admire the vicuñas, alpacas and other South American Camelids. Thus, thanks to technology we can also admire them from our seats while travelling on the new observatories coaches unique in South America. These observatory coaches offer you excellent food including entrance, main course, dessert and a cup of good café. To continue explaining about the landscape we have mentioned, we find the La Raya Station where we stop to have a wider panoramic vision. The Raya Station is the highest point (4 319 masl) where the train passes. Here we find a little exhibition of handicrafts and other typical local objects. Pay attention to the following: the departure point to enjoy this wonderful trip is at Wanchaq, the altitude is higher so they are separated. Here you have the schedules of departure times: Departures Schedule |
