Train to Machu Picchu – Peru
One of the most scenic railway journeys in South America follows the tracks along the Urubamba River toward Machu Picchu. The train route passes through the dramatic mountain valleys of the Sacred Valley before entering dense cloud forest near Aguas Calientes.
Towering peaks, rushing rivers, and lush vegetation surround the railway as it winds deeper into the Andes. The journey offers travelers their first glimpses of the remote landscapes that protected Machu Picchu for centuries.
For many visitors, the train ride itself forms an unforgettable part of the approach to one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites.
