Hiram Bingham Train
This luxury train service runs between Cuzco and Machu Picchu. The train departs from Poroy Station (20 mins drive from the centre of Cuzco) at 9am, giving a more leisurely start to the day than other PeruRail departures.
Its distinctive blue and gold livery and elegant interior upholstery in warm, inviting tones, consists of 4 cars - 2 dining cars, a bar / observation car and a kitchen car
Brunch is served on board the train whilst travellers enjoy the spectacular scenery unfolding before them from the large windows. The arrival at Machu Picchu at 12.30pm gives passengers the advantage of entering the Sanctuary at an hour when the majority of the visitors are already beginning to leave for their journey back to Cuzco. This not only gives the opportunity to experience the ancient citadel at Machu Picchu in relative solitude, but also with a longer period of time there, and passengers only return to the train as the sun goes down.
Once back on board for a 6.00pm departure, pre-dinner cocktails are served in the bar accompanied by live entertainment before passengers enjoy a 4-course, à la carte dinner, in the dining cars. The train pulls into Poroy station in Cuzco at 9.25pm.
