Start your unforgettable day in Cusco with a private transfer to Poroy Station, just 20 minutes from the city center. Upon arrival, step into a world of elegance with a glass of champagne, a traditional welcome show with local dancers, and access to an exclusive lounge before boarding the legendary Belmond Hiram Bingham Train.

Admire the train’s stunning 1920s-inspired blue-and-gold carriages, polished wood interiors, and brass details. Settle into your luxuriously upholstered seat and prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime ride through the heart of the Andes.

As the train departs, explore its elegant bar, panoramic observation car, and two gourmet dining cars. During your 3-hour journey to Aguas Calientes, enjoy a three-course gourmet lunch paired with select wines from Peru, Argentina, and Chile. Sip on a refreshing pisco sour or a cold Cusqueña beer while listening to live Peruvian music performed on traditional instruments.

From the observation platform, soak in breathtaking views of the Sacred Valley—majestic mountains, lush green hills, and the Urubamba River winding through deep valleys. Once you arrive in Aguas Calientes, a private bus for Hiram Bingham guests will take you directly to the entrance of Machu Picchu, bypassing the long lines for public transport.

Explore Machu Picchu – The Lost City of the Incas

With your expert guide, explore the heart of the Machu Picchu citadel, walking through its temples, plazas, and ceremonial sites. Learn how this incredible Inca city was built to be self-sustaining, using terraced agriculture and advanced irrigation systems.

After the guided tour, you’ll have time to explore on your own before heading to Belmond Sanctuary Lodge for a refined afternoon tea. Choose from a variety of sandwiches, scones, fine teas, and select wines, surrounded by serene mountain views.

Return in Style

Board your exclusive Hiram Bingham train once more and relax in style. In the evening, enjoy a four-course gourmet dinner on board as the train winds back through the Sacred Valley. Let yourself be entertained by traditional music and dancing on the way back to Poroy.

Once you arrive, your private transportation will be waiting to take you directly to your hotel in Cusco, ending a day filled with world-class service, Andean landscapes, and rich Inca history.
