Those who wish to stay longer in the heart of the Sacred Valley, have the option of taking the train and enjoying the same wonders, but on a shorter trip, departing either from Ollantaytambo or from Urubamba.

Alternative

Sacred Valley Railway:

This is a good alternative for those who wish to spend more time in Machu Picchu without having to sleep there. It departs from Urubamba and arrives in Machu Picchu before any other train and returns after all the others. It is an auto-wagon with a glass roof to allow a better view of the valley landscape. It is a joint venture of the Incaland Hotel in Urubamba and Peru Rail.
