The private transfer from your hotel in Cusco to Poroy train station takes between 20 and 30 minutes with Taxi Cusco Tours A1, the fastest option for catching the direct train to Machu Picchu without going through the Sacred Valley.
Poroy is the alternate station to Ollantaytambo: it’s only 20 minutes from Cusco and is used by PeruRail’s Vistadome and luxury trains that go straight to Aguas Calientes. It’s ideal if you only have one day for Machu Picchu and want to minimize ground transfer time.
Pickup point: your hotel lobby or entrance in Cusco
Route: toward the west of the city, in the direction of Poroy
Drop-off: Poroy train station exit
Approximate duration: 20–30 min
Since the trip is short, the recommended safety margin is smaller than toward Ollantaytambo: leaving your hotel 45-60 minutes before boarding time is enough to arrive calmly, check in, and find your carriage.
- Private vehicle, direct to the station with no intermediate stops
- Coordination with your exact train schedule from Poroy
