About The Hiram Bingham, a Belmond Train

Hiram Bingham is a Belmond luxury train to Machu Picchu. With fewer than 85 guests for an exclusive atmosphere, Hiram Bingham's luxury train cars are liveried in blue and gold and furnished in 1920's Pullman style.

Each carriage has been decorated in polished wooden panels and brass finishing, with large chairs and plenty of space to stretch out.

Travel through some of the most beautiful and romantic scenery in Peru in Belmond's Hiram Bingham luxury train.

Winding past soaring mountains and the waters of the Urubamba River, whilst enjoying delectable cuisine, is a very special way in which to make the round trip from Poroy, 8 miles / 13 kms west of the ancient city of Cuzco (or Cusco) to the lost city of Machu Picchu.

The Hiram Bingham luxury train is named after the US explorer who claimed to have discovered the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in 1911.

Heading towards Machu Picchu, your experience begins with a delicious welcome cocktail. Then savour a brunch and gourmet lunch as you admire the ever-changing scenery.

The return journey offers views of the Sacred Valley as the day draws to a close, with a fine dining experience on board.

Dining includes non-premium beverages and a wine selection. Guests can also enjoy traditional live Peruvian music.

Machu Picchu entrance tickets can only be secured with train tickets issued 30 days before travel.

Cancellations or modifications to your train journey will cancel the associated Machu Picchu ticket which will be deducted from any refunds.
