Day train

Hiram Bingham

Belmond's Pullman-style day train between Cusco and Machu Picchu, with dining on board and live music.

The Hiram Bingham runs between Poroy, near Cusco, and Aguas Calientes, the town below Machu Picchu. The route follows the Urubamba River through the Sacred Valley. Polished wood carriages recall the 1920s, and meals are served on board. The observation car has a bar and live music, which gives the journey a festive feel.

Guests are welcomed on the platform with music and dancing before departure. The train turns the journey to Machu Picchu into part of the experience. It pairs well with a night at Belmond Sanctuary Lodge, the only hotel at the entrance to the citadel.

Where it goes
