Peru Rail Cusco to Machu Picchu

This feature is now available from our online shop at Spruce Studios. The 60 minute film has been professionally linked by Bob Symes and also includes 3 other Remote Railways, these are from Northern Queensland, Australia, Kuranda Scenic Railway, Sri Lanka, the Galle to Matara Branch and the Sabah State Railway from Beaufort to Tenom. Remote Railways is Priced at £16.50, including P&P This is said to be one of the "Great" rail journey's of the world. Originally running between Cusco & Machu Picchu in Peru, South America, but for the last year or so, starting some 40 minutes from Cusco at the small village of Poroy. This is due to the length of the journey (4 hours, from Cusco, many tourists think this is too long in a train!!) This diesel service now takes approx 2 hours to complete the journey to the Lost City of the Inca's. The train follows the river through the Urubamba valley for much of the journey. We travel through the 1000ft gorges, the mountain peaks are dusted with snow and on this Vistadome Express are made to feel like Inca Kings & Queens. At the new main station of Machu Picchu, ( the old one in the middle of the town is now used by back packers & locals only), is in the centre of the tourist hotel area, it allows rail fans, such as us, the benefits of seeing all of the trains from the comfort of our hotel. We have managed to film some scenes in the main street, plus within the new staion and also from our hotel balcony. For more info on our other productions, please log onto www.sprucestudios.com.
