Inca Rail, a 100 percent Peruvian-owned company, offers authentic rail travel experiences between the mystical Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, also known as the “Lost City of the Incas.”
Launched in October 2009, the company operates a fleet of nine trains, which take guests on a breathtaking one hour and 45 minute journey from the Incan fortress town of Ollantaytambo, one of the last Incan bastions, to the magical Machu Picchu UNESCO World Heritage site. Traveling along the Urubamba River, pas- sengers pass through lush vegetation and breathtaking landscapes until they arrive at Aguas Calientes, the town at the foot of Machu Picchu. For the ultimate Andean luxury experience, book the flagship Inca Princess carriage, a private space for eight that is both exceptionally comfortable and offers optimal views.
