Yes, but each passenger is responsible for safeguarding them during the journey (cash, jewelry, documents, electronic equipment, etc.). We suggest not to leave valuable or fragile objects in your luggage in storage (if it applies to your train ticket), since PeruRail will not be held responsible for the loss or damage of any object of value.
PeruRail reserves the right to remove any type of object and/or luggage that blocks the train exits or that it considers might affect other passengers or the journey.
There is no cost. Simply, luggage that does not comply with the established conditions shall not be allowed.
