Insider tips

• ★Request a seat on the right side of the train for the best views of the Urubamba River valley during the ascent.
• ★Arrive at Cusco 2–3 days early to acclimatise to the altitude and enjoy better health on the day of travel.
• ★Wear layers—mornings are cool at altitude, but the train's open-air cars warm up significantly midday.
• ★The train fills quickly during June–August; book 6–8 weeks ahead for peak-season dates.

Who it's for

Best time to visit

Visit May–September for dry, sunny weather and clearer views of the ruins. Early morning departures mean you'll reach Machu Picchu by mid-morning, ideal for photography before midday crowds and cloud cover arrive.
