"Train Trip to Machu Picchu Machu Picchu is located just fifty miles from Cusco. However, there is no direct road between the two cities. Unless you're walking the Inca Trail, you'll need to take a train from Cusco. The main operators are Peru Rail and Inka Rail, each of which offers a variety of budget and luxury options. Peru Rail runs a luxurious train, named after Hiram Bingham, that costs around $475 USD for a round-trip. Demand is high, so be sure to book the tickets in advance. You can also take any of the trains from Ollantaytambo to the small town of Aguas Calientes. From there, Machu Picchu is a 30-minute drive up the hill."

Simple and easy to navigate train station. I arrived here from Ollantaytambo. Aguas Calientes is a very cute and beautiful town nestled in the mountains and greenery, with river streams cross cutting the town. Locals were friendly. Safe town and cute kids playing and running around on their own. If you have time, I recommend staying here a few nights!

Machu Picchu Station was the perfect beginning and end to one of the most magical journeys of my life. Like the entire trip, it felt wondrous—surrounded by breathtaking scenery, lush mountains, and the energy of something ancient and unforgettable. The station itself is charming and well-organized, with friendly staff and a cozy, local feel. It’s more than just a transportation hub—it’s part of the experience. The moment you step off the train, you feel the magic of what’s to come. Truly unforgettable.

Machu Picchu Station is the place where all tourists will begin or end their journey to Machu Picchu. The station itself is a bit chaotic, but assuming you have your ticket and passport readily available you should be able to get aboard the train. The train itself was fantastic, with great views and a full bar service available. Great fun.

A beautiful station with a nice garden and a large waiting room. Took us 2 minutes to have our tickets checked and get to the train but leave longer ideally.

Clean train station with clean bathrooms, a small cafeteria and immaculate gardens surrounded by beautiful mountains. Buy tickets for Inca Rail or Peru Rail here but i recommend buying your tickets in advance online. Its recommended to arrive 30 minutes before your departure time. Safe travels!

Great little train station here in Aguas Calientes. The station is well maintained and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is strategically located right by the market and close to the town center. We had one member in a group that required some assistance due to mobility issues and all the staff were more than helpful in ensuring that we got onto the train in a timely manner and was given a comfortable corner to sit while waiting. Especially Eric who was also the Warrior on our Inca Rail train from Ollantaytambo was very helpful to our family!
