There’s a new train service running between Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes, offering an alternative for travelers to reach Machu Picchu.

After holding an exclusive concession for more than a decade, Orient Express PeruRail has had to make room on the tracks for a competitor, Inca Rail, which is now in its first full month of operation with eight carriages transporting passengers in plush comfort along the Urubamba River rail line.

(A third rail company, Andean Railways, was also granted permission to add its trains to the route and is expected start operations before the end of the year.)
