For hundreds of years, the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu has captured the hearts and imaginations of thousands of avid adventurers. While many choose to tackle the scenic hiking circuits that lead to the age-old sanctuary, nothing compares to the luxury of a Machu Picchu train tour.
Climb aboard the epitome of vintage luxury rail travel, the Hiram Bingham, as you venture from Cusco, making your way to the historic site. Spread across two days, you’ll have ample chance to take in the magical town of Aguas Calientes, the gateway to Machu Picchu, before visiting the actual site.
With plenty to see and do, this charming village is the perfect spot to engage with locals, indulge in cultural activities, and marvel at much of the area’s natural beauty.
On the second day of your journey, after an early morning start, board your train and settle in as you are coached in style to one of the new seven world wonders. Upon reaching the citadel, your Machu Picchu tour starts, bursting with highlights, before you’re ferried back to Cusco.
Luxury? Check. Amazing sights? Check. Unforgettable experiences? Check. All that’s left to do is get on board.
