Itinerary

The train leaves Cusco in the morning, starting a spectacular journey through varying landscapes while passengers enjoy a delicious brunch. After climbing a steep slope on the outskirts of Cusco, you will descend into the Sacred Valley, passing lush fields and colorful villages located at the foot of the Andes. The train has two passenger cars, a bar car and a kitchen car, all exquisitely designed. It is a luxurious experience, with extra-wide tables almost 3 meters long and comfortable seating (30cm wider than the standard), making these cars amongst the most spacious and comfortable in the world.

NOTE: During rainy season (January-March) all trains leave from Ollantaytambo train station (about 2 hours from Cusco). During this time, we will provide transport from Cusco to Ollantaytambo. This is also an option during high season (May-August) where availability of trains from Cusco may be limited.

Level: easy. People of all ages are welcome.
