Train tickets from Cusco or Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu will cost less if new companies start operating on this train route currently operated by PeruRail, reported today Inka Rail.
PeruRail, partly owned by Orient-Express Hotels Ltd and their partners, has been running the railroad form Cusco to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu) for nine years.
Inka Rail noted that after signing the concession contract in 1999, prices for the backpacker and vistadome service increased from $34 to $73 and from $55 to $113, respectively, in 2006.
However, it mentioned that 25.7 percent and 31.5 percent price reductions in both services are expected this year.
A week ago, PeruRail denied any rise in ticket prices on the Cusco-Machu Picchu route as it was mentioned by Andean Railways, a company pushing for access to the rail route.
