Hiram Bingham Train

Mystical Machu Picchu no longer mandates 4-day treks along the challenging Inca Trail, or aboard overcrowded backpacker trains. Instead, the Hiram Bingham luxury rail – named for the American explorer who awakened the lost city’s existence worldwide – ushers travelers to and from the steps of the sacred site from Cusco six days a week, in sheer class – and in just 3.5 hours. From the comfort of your seat, uncover stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape as you glide along through the lush Sacred Valley: cascading mountains, the flowing Urubamba River, abundant flora and fauna, and colorful villages unfold in the Andean foothills. Fret not about the details as packages can be booked to include onboard meals (with wine), live entertainment, private guides, bus transfers and entrance to the ruins, and afternoon tea at Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge.
