(Itineraries and fares)
The Hiram Bingham carries passengers on a
spectacular journey through changing
landscapes, passing lush fields, colourful
villages and the wonderful vistas of the
beautiful Andes.
Departuring from Poroy Station (20 minutes
from Cuzco centre) the Hiram Bingham gives a
more leisurely start to the day than
traditional departures. Brunch is served on
board and guides are present to explain
points of interest en route, as well as in
the Ruins at Machu Picchu.
Afternoon Tea is served at the
Machu Picchu
Sanctuary Lodge, located just steps from the
ancient citadel. Once back on board,
pre-dinner cocktails are served, accompanied
by live entertainment and a 4-course
gastronomic menu (more

The train descends into the Sacred Valley,
passing by lush, green fields and colourful
villages in the foothills of the Andes.
The train then descends from the highest
point of the journey into the
Sacred Valley.
Before reaching Machu Picchu, the train
travels along the Urubamba River, with
awe-inspiring views of the dramatic canyon.
The service, which has been in operation
since 1928, offers the ideal way to view
both the most sacred of valleys and the
most spectacular archeological ruins in
South America, Machu Picchu.
Passengers can choose to travel this
route on either our Vistadome or
Backpacker trains. (more

Train Cuzco to
Lake Titicaca
"This
train route was awarded such as second
rout most beautiful of world".
On the journey the train makes a gentle
climb to higher, and cooler, altitudes.
The first half of the journey is
dominated by the magnificent Andean
mountains which tower over the deep
valleys of the meandering Huatanay
River. It then reaches the gentler,
rolling Andean Plains, where vicuña and
alpaca can be seen. If travelling aboard
the Andean
Explorer, the glass-walled
observation car provides the perfect
opportunity to view the beautiful
scenery.
The journey is broken by a scenic stop
at La Raya, which is also the highest
point on the route. (more
