About
Hiram Bingham
Machu Picchu as a full-day rail journey
Hiram Bingham turns the journey to Machu Picchu into a full day rather than a simple rail transfer. From the Cusco area or Sacred Valley, the train follows the Urubamba River with dining, live music and access to an open observation car. The railway is combined with transfers and a visit to the citadel, creating one continuous itinerary whose precise timings and departure station vary through the year.

Dining and an open observation car
Brunch is served as the train travels through the Sacred Valley towards Machu Picchu. The open observation car brings the river and steep-sided landscape into view, with live music continuing during parts of the journey. On the return, the service moves towards cocktails and dinner. The exact meal pattern varies with the direction and timetable.
THE JOURNEYS
Through the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu
The railway reaches Aguas Calientes, where guests continue by road to the Machu Picchu citadel. Depending on the season, the journey may start at Poroy or use a combined road-and-rail departure from Cusco, with some services operating from Ollantaytambo. Station transfers, entry tickets, guiding and the time available at the site should be confirmed for the chosen departure.
