The Inca Jungle trek is a popular and adventurous alternative route to reach Machu Picchu, the ancient Inca citadel located in the Peruvian Andes. This trek involves a combination of hiking, biking, and optional activities like ziplining and hot springs, making it a unique and exciting experience for adventurous travelers.
Upgrade to Vistadome Train:
If you have chosen the train return option after your visit to Machu Picchu, the included train is either the Expedition Train by PeruRail or the Voyager Train by Inca Rail—the only two companies that provide train services in this area. These trains are clean, comfortable, and equipped with windows to enjoy the scenic views during the journey. Departure times are typically scheduled for 2:30 PM, 2:50 PM, or later, depending on the timing of your reservation.
For a more enhanced experience, you can upgrade to the Vistadome Train. This panoramic train offers greater comfort and features a glass ceiling for breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. Additionally, the Vistadome Train provides an onboard entertainment service that includes live music and traditional local dances, as well as complimentary snacks.
The Vistadome upgrade has an additional cost of $40 per person. If you choose this option, we will secure your Vistadome train tickets for your return journey.
