Passenger reviews
"Luxury in every way"
If you want to treat yourself to the ultimate indulgence when visiting Machu Picchu, this is the train for you. The scenery, food, drinks, and experience are all extremely luxurious and will impress everyone. If you only want to do the one-way trip, I recommend the morning train as you will be able to use the back of the train for observation and the scenery is some of the best in the world.

"Amazing luxury experience worth the cost"
Amazing luxury experience worth the cost! We treated ourselves to this train and it is one of the best decisions. We did the one-way trip to Machu Picchu (leaving from Wanquac station in Cusco by bus). The food, drink, and entertainment were excellent. The attentiveness of the staff really helped make it an amazing experience. I really recommend saving up on other activities to be able to live this experience.
