Travelers wanting to travel to Peru this summer, will be pleased to hear the railway heading to Machu Picchu should be fully repaired by June 25.  Earlier this year, extreme flooding from torrential rain caused severe damage on the railway leading to the historic site, causing some train services to close for several months. The ruins themselves were not damaged by the floods but were inaccessible by tourists as there is no direct road access. The capital of the Inca Empire and UNESCO World Heritage Site is open for visitors and this summer is a great time to visit Peru and the ancient city in the sky.

In addition to the railway restoration, trains to Machu Picchu have also been renovated. Starting July 1^st, the popular Vistadome and Expedition service carriages now have many new improvements such as amazing panoramic windows, allowing guests to take in all the vistas and incredible views leading up to the ruins. New upholstered seating and state of the art sound equipment make the train ride leisurely, comfortable and enjoyable.

No visit to Peru is complete without a visit to Machu Picchu. Please visit our Machu Picchu Tours page for more information.
