Belmond Hiram Bingham, (Peru) —

Specializing in Machu Picchu train tours, the Belmond Hiram Bingham takes you through the most romantic scenery in Peru.  These rail journeys travel from Poroy, near the ancient city of Cusco, to the Lost City of Machu Picchu, and include guided sightseeing excursions and activities along the way, such as rafting, hiking, biking, horseback riding and more.

Named after the explorer who rediscovered the Inca citadel, the train is decorated in the style of 1920s Pullman carriages and has two dining cars, an observation/bar car, a kitchen car, and can carry up to 84 passengers. There are not sleeping cars, instead guests stay overnight at Belmond hotels along the way.

The bar car is the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail accompanied by live Peruvian music. On the way to Machu Picchu, their bartender will show you how to make a traditional Pisco Sour. 

As the train begins its journey towards Machu Picchu, the dining cars offer gourmet meals including brunch with sparkling wine and freshly squeezed orange juice, a traditional Peruvian appetizer, before moving on to a delicious main course followed by dessert and coffee. Brunch is accompanied by a selection of Peruvian wines. As you depart from the site of Machu Picchu and head towards Poroy, enjoy dinner – a four-course, Andean-inspired menu.

Travelers can choose from a number of different rail journeys including “Adventurous Peru” (7 nights) – hike Inca trails, ride Paso horses, raft along the Urubamba River, and enjoy all of the cultural highlights, plus high energy thrills; “Insiders’ Peru” (6 nights) – discover Cusco close up before heading to the Sacred Valley and exploring Machu Picchu with expert guides.   Along with options for hiking, biking, horseback riding and other activities, there is plenty of sightseeing and cultural immersion on these tours!
