Backpacker Train to Machu Picchu By Train Review

Getting to Machu Picchu is not difficult, but you allow yourself time to prepare for the trip. Don't plan to buy train tickets on the day you want to travel. You will have to buy your tickets two or three days in advance. You can buy your tickets in Cusco and take the train from Poroy, which is a quick taxi ride from Cusco. There are three options for trains, we chose the least expensive, the backpacker train. Don't let them name fool you. Its not an uncomfortable or small train. As you can see from my photo the train is comfortable. We bought a round trip same day ticket. It is a long train ride to Machu Picchu, although its not a long distance. The train is slow at times as it crosses over the mountains and will take you over 3 hours to get to Machu Picchu.
