Inca Rail The Voyager: the standard train to Machu Picchu, with every departure and what it costs

Most travelers reach Machu Picchu on a standard-class train, and on Inca Rail that train is The Voyager. It is not a luxury service, and it does not try to be: big windows, a comfortable seat and the most departures of the day. This is what it includes, when it runs and what it cost on a real date.

  • Spacious seats and Andean music: Spacious seating, with ambient Andean music on the way.

Who The Voyager is for

For most visitors it is the sensible choice: the journey is short, the windows are the same big windows, and the money you save goes into the bus up, a guide or a night in Aguas Calientes. If you want the open-air observation car, look at The 360°; if a full meal on board is the point, The Prime.
