Inca Rail operates The 360°, a one-day train excursion that departs from and returns to Machu Picchu with an open-air observation car as its centerpiece. The train travels through the Andes with panoramic windows on all sides, allowing passengers to view mountains and valleys continuously throughout the journey. Included are complimentary Andean snacks, live Andean music performed onboard, Wi-Fi access, and an onboard infotainment system. On the return leg, passengers witness a live Andean cultural performance that stages an Inca love story, bringing regional history and tradition to life. This excursion suits first-time train travellers, photographers seeking high-altitude mountain views, and couples looking for a cultural day experience.
