Hiram Bingham Luxury Train

The Hiram Bingham is the most exclusive and luxurious train service to Machu Picchu. Inspired by the elegance of classic Pullman travel, this premium train transforms the journey itself into a memorable part of your Peru adventure. From the moment you arrive, the experience is designed for travelers who value comfort, fine dining, personalized service, and unforgettable scenery.

Named after the explorer associated with the international discovery of Machu Picchu, the Hiram Bingham offers a sophisticated rail experience through the Sacred Valley. Rich wood interiors, elegant lounge areas, attentive onboard staff, and panoramic Andean landscapes make it one of the most iconic luxury train journeys in South America.

Luxury Train Experience

The Hiram Bingham is much more than transportation between Cusco and Machu Picchu. It is a full premium experience that begins before departure and continues throughout the journey. Passengers can enjoy a VIP lounge with live performance before boarding, then settle into beautifully designed carriages featuring refined décor and classic luxury rail styling.

On board, guests have access to a dedicated observatory carriage with an open-air balcony, a bar carriage with a curated selection of drinks and cocktails, and a dining carriage with exclusive service. Gourmet lunch or dinner is served depending on the direction of travel, while live music adds a unique cultural atmosphere during the ride.

The Hiram Bingham operates primarily on the Cusco / Sacred Valley - Machu Picchu route. The journey follows the spectacular Sacred Valley, passing rivers, mountain slopes, and traditional Andean scenery before arriving at Aguas Calientes, the gateway town to Machu Picchu.

This premium service also includes additional benefits for many departures, such as bus transportation up to Machu Picchu, return bus service from the citadel, and a guided tour in Spanish or English.
