From 100 Facts for 100 Years of Machu Picchu - Fact #19



By Catharine Hamm | Los Angeles Times Travel Editor

#19 You have three choices of train travel to Machu Picchu: the Expedition, or backpacker train (basic) the Vistadome train (which has lots of windows, but if it's warm outside, you may feel as though you are baking in a terrarium) and the Hiram Bingham, a luxury train operated by Orient Express.

The backpacker, expedition, vistadome, and Hiram Bingham are all cars - classes of service offered by Orient Express on the trains operating between either Cusco or the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.  The Expedition train are the same cars as the vistadome but with more basic services offered.

Additionally InkaRail offers two classes of service from Ollantaytambo either Executive or First Class.
