Belmond Hiram Ningham, the Luxury Train to Cusco

At the designated time, we'll welcome you on board the luxury train to Cusco and leave Aguas Calientes behind. It's the best way to say goodbye to Machu Picchu!

Before boarding the train, you'll be served afternoon tea at Sanctuary Lodge. After relaxing with this drink, you'll have access to the VIP waiting room at the Aguas Calientes station.

Once you're in your seats, we'll greet you with a welcome cocktail on board before setting off on this unforgettable journey on the Hiram Bingham surrounded by the majestic landscapes of the Peruvian Andes. In fact, the train is named after the explorer who rediscovered the citadel of Machu Picchu!

As well as the views, the interior of this luxurious railway with carriages inspired by the 1920s will leave you speechless. And if that wasn't enough, you'll also enjoy live music and shows throughout the journey. You'll feel like you're in a classic film!
