Groups of up to eight now have the option to exclusively hire an entire luxury train carriage for their private use for the journey to Machu Picchu.
Inca Rail has recently introduced The Private service, a completely remodelled and refurbished parlour car that has been spaciously designed for exclusive use, complete with its own bar, open balcony, lounge seating area, upholstered armchairs and dining tables placed next to wide, UV protected windows.
Operating on the route between Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu, The Private comes with two butlers and a chef, who will serve a tasting menu paired with wines from South America.
After checking in for their journey at Inca Rail?s newly opened VIP waiting lounge at Ollantaytambo station, passengers boarding The Private are welcomed with a bottle of champagne as the train departs for the 90 minute journey to Machu Picchu.
The carriage can operate daily according to scheduled services a round-trip from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu costs from ?7,400 and one-way from ?4,440. This also includes a private transfer from the train station to Machu Picchu citadel.
The company is investing approximately USD12 million in upgrading its entire train fleet and services, meaning it will soon have the most modern train service operating in Peru. The launch of The Private follows the introduction of a new train service by the brand, The 360? Machu Picchu Train, which commenced operations in March earlier this year.
