Cusco to Machu Picchu

The distance between both cities is 74 km that you can comfortably travel by train, either in the PeruRail Expedition, PeruRail Vistadome, or Hiram Bingham Belmond. The trip lasts around 3:30 hours and trains leave from the Poroy train station. 

Poroy is located approximately 20 minutes from the center of Cusco and most tourists arrive from there by bus, taxi or private service. The trains arrive at the Machu Picchu train station, former Aguas Calientes, in the Las Orquídeas neighborhood.

This transportation service provided by PeruRail can vary a bit depending on the time of the year in which you travel. During the months of January and April, train services may vary during the rainy season in Cusco, where part of the railway is closed for security reasons. In those cases, PeruRail applies the Bimodal Service (Bus + Train). The Bimodal Service is a service that combines travel by bus and train, departing and arriving from the city of Cusco.
