Machu Picchu is a popular destination reached by rail and this is a short post for those of you who would like to book your train ticket to Machu Picchu in advance and without the extra added costs of a tourism company.
The official web site is called Perurail and if you click this link it will take you to their web site which has now turned into a blog about tourism and not for train booking. Please see the link below.
You will find all the information you need such as schedules, fares, routes and booking. This is an English version so it should be very easy to navigate.
There are other online booking engines but the official Perurail web site is more comprehensive, has more train options, better pricing and other routes including those from Cusco, therefore I suggest that you use the official web site for your bookings.
Additionally, you can purchase your entry tickets from the official Peruvian Government web site, Ministerio de Cultura by clicking here. It is highly recommended to purchase your entry tickets well in advance due to the daily limitations of visitors.
