The 3ft gauge Ferrocarril Santa Ana line is the access to Macchu Pichu (reached from Aguas Calientes). Two excursion operators are PeruRail (part of the Belmond group) and Inca Rail. Until mid 2019, rail access with central Cusco was available by a local train accessible by Peruvian residents only - see [https://www.seat61.com/Peru.htm The Man in Seat 61]'s webpage), with all tourist trains starting from Poroy (some 8 miles away by road). However, Inca Rail resumed operation from San Pedro station in the city in May 2019. PeruRail also advertise trains starting at Ollantaytambo and Urubamba but these are 56 and 33 miles respectively from Cusco - the former on the main line, the latter on a short branch line. ''Reported: May 2019''
