PeruRail’s Sacred Valley Train is a premium train ride that takes you on a very comfortable journey from the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu. Enjoy the stunning landscapes out your window  with a gourmet lunch or dinner aboard as you travel to Machu Picchu by train. Head to the Observatory car for a drink at the bar to soak up the scenery.
