Most trains depart from Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley, with travel times to Aguas Calientes ranging from approximately 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours. Many travelers favor this departure point for its convenience and shorter travel time compared to routes originating in Cusco. The location positions passengers to experience the transition from highland valleys to the cloud forest surrounding the Inca Citadel.
Passengers on trains departing from Ollantaytambo encounter the Ollantay Experience, a cultural narrative woven into the trip across all service levels. Onboard storytelling recounts the legendary romance between Ollanta, a general of the Inca Empire, and Cusi Coyllur. Live performances begin in the Ollantaytambo waiting room with music and celebration, featuring traditional Inca garments that support cultural preservation and community involvement in the travel experience.
The Voyager class serves as the Standard option, featuring comfortable seating with wide windows that frame views of the Urubamba River and Andean peaks. Snacks and beverages are available for purchase onboard. This tier appeals to budget-conscious travelers who seek scenic visibility and access to the cultural storytelling without premium add-ons. Passengers in this class experience the same trip duration and landscape transitions—from snowy mountains to the lush vegetation of the cloud forest—that define the route to Machu Picchu.
Premium options include the 360° class, which enhances viewing capabilities with panoramic windows and an open-air observatory car that maximizes exposure to the Sacred Valley scenery. Complimentary snacks made with local ingredients and onboard Wi-Fi for messaging are included, with round-trip fares typically around USD 170. First Class represents the most luxurious tier, featuring a dining car, an exclusive lounge and bar car, and an open-air balcony. Passengers receive a three-course gourmet menu with wine pairing, accompanied by a wine ceremony featuring saxophone and violin performances. One-way tickets start at approximately $200 USD.
All passengers, regardless of class, are subject to a strict luggage limit of one small bag weighing under 8 kg (17.6 lbs). Inca Rail's range of offerings—from Standard to Premium, from cultural storytelling to gourmet dining—allows every traveler to identify an option matching their priorities and budget for the trip to Machu Picchu. Booking details, custom tours, and additional information are accessible through the company's website.
