Peru Rail announces partial resumption of trains to Machu Picchu

The Peru Rail company reported that from this Wednesday, February 8, train operations between Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu will partially resume.

The services will be restricted, and they have enabled only four schedules to leave Ollantaytambo and another four from Machu Picchu.

These are the currently available train schedules

• The departures from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu are at 05:50 and 19:04 hours.
• The departures from Machu Picchu to Ollantaytambo are at 08:53 and 21:50 hours
