Inca Rail announced upgraded services and enhanced amenities to its newly expanded fleet in March 2018.
The leading rail service to Peru’s ancient Inca citadel unveiled some first-class upgrades to its carriages.
Part of the magic of visiting Machu Picchu lies in the journey it takes to get there. The UNESCO World Heritage Site sits more than 7,000 feet above sea level, nestled high in the Andes above Peru’s Sacred Valley. For many centuries, a treacherous expedition was the only way to reach this ancient Inca citadel. Today, travelers wishing to venture to the mystical ruins can do so in a pleasant matter of hours aboard a selection of luxury train operators—one of which recently unveiled a full-scale upgrade to its fleet.
Peru’s leading train service to Machu Picchu, Inca Rail, debuted its elevated collection, “The Machu Picchu Trains by Inca Rail,” this March. The exciting update includes a complete overhaul of amenities to Inca Rail’s already-existing trains. It also welcomes an entirely new carriage, The 360º Machu Picchu, to the luxury fleet.
