Gran experiencia, muy recomendable
El personal era increíblemente amable y hablaba excelente inglés. El tren estaba muy limpio en nuestro camino a Machu Picchu, y nos sirvieron comida y bebidas durante el increíble viaje a través de las montañas. ¡Habríamos viajado felices por otras tres horas! Esta fue mi primera vez experimentando algo así, y se sintió natural en Perú
Karishma K
Impresionante experiencia
Fue una experiencia maravillosa, con un cómodo paseo a través de hermosos paisajes que conducen al sitio increíble. Disfrutamos de impresionantes vistas de las montañas mientras viajábamos junto al río. A lo largo del viaje, el paisaje cambiante y las plantas hicieron que el paisaje fuera aún más fascinante
Saraswati K
Fue un gran viaje
Recientemente regresamos de Perú, donde visitamos Lima, Cusco y el Valle Sagrado, e hicimos una caminata de dos días en el Camino Inca a Machu Picchu. Después de la caminata de cuatro días, el viaje en tren de vuelta fue cómodo, y el personal cuidó mucho de todos. Si te sientas a la derecha del tren, obtendrás una vista fantástica del glaciar después de pasar Urubamba
Diptimayee S
Excelente experiencia
Fue un viaje suave y fácil a Machu Picchu desde Cusco. Las vistas eran increíbles, y el servicio en el tren era genial. Había tanta historia y hermosos edificios para ver! En el camino de regreso, incluso tuvieron un desfile de moda, y realmente desearía haber comprado algo. En general, fue un viaje maravilloso.
