The Vistadomes - in the words of PeruRail:

The Vistadome trains have beautiful panoramic windows offering unsurpassed scenic views and photographic opportunities. 

With glass surrounding them on all sides, passengers feel as if they are part of Peru's remarkable landscape.

Snacks and hot and cold refreshments are included on the journey.

There are two Vistadome trains: 

One Vistadome service runs between Cuzco - Poroy - Machu Picchu.  As of March 2008, there is only one frequency a day.

The other Vistadome service runs between Ollantaytambo in The Sacred Valley and Aguas Calientes, a journey of about 1 hour 40 minutes. As of March 2008, this represents the primary service with multiple frequencies:
Ollantaytambo-Aguas Calientes
     between  6:00 AM & 4:00 PM
Aguas Calientes-Ollantaytambo
    between 8:30 AM & 7:00 PM
