The Hiram Bingham Train
We invite you to step aboard the "Hiram Bingham" the new luxury train service that runs from Poroy Station to Machu Picchu in 3 and a half hours. This new service with its distinctive blue and
gold livery and elegant interior upholstery in warm, inviting tones, consists of 4 cars - 2 dining cars, a bar car and a kitchen car. |
 |
Departing from Poroy Station (20 minutes from Cusco
centre) at 9:00 AM, the Hiram Bingham gives a more leisurely start to the day than the traditional 6:00 AM departures of other services. After the steep climb out of
Cuzco, the train descends into the Sacred Valley, passing lush fields and
colorful villages in the foothills of the Andes. Brunch is served on board and guides are present to explain points of interest on route,
|
|
| as well as in the Ruins at Machu Picchu on arrival at the ancient citadel.
An afternoon tea is served in the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge located just steps from the entrance to the Ruins, and once back on board for the 06:15 PM departure, pre-dinner
cocktails are served, accompanied by live entertainment, and afterwards a 4 course, a la carte dinner is presented in the dining cars.
For many visitors, the journey to Machu Picchu is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Taking the Hiram Bingham service means you can focus |
|
 |
your attention and
energy on what matters most, content in the knowledge that the
logistical details of the day's trip have been taken care of:
included in the price of the ticket are the onboard meals with
wine, entertainment, guides bus transfers, entrance to the Ruins
and afternoon tea.

 |
| Life on Board
The distinctive blue and gold carriages of the Hiram Bingham are warm and inviting with elegant interior upholstery. The train, consisting of 2 dining cars, an observation bar car and a kitchen car, can carry up to 84 passengers.
The general style of the carriages is in line with those on the Andean Explorer train, which operates between Cuzco and Lake Titicaca in Southern Peru, and reflect the luxury of the
1920's Pullman era.

design features of the coaches are the large, comfortable

| Hiram Bingham
At around noon, on July 23, 1911, an explorer named Hiram Bingham climbed up a steep hill and stumbled onto Machu Picchu, uncovering what had been up until that moment, the Incas' best kept secret. The World was amazed by his discovery. The luxury train service between Cuzco and Machu Picchu, is named after the American explorer who rediscovered the stunning ruins of the ancient citadel.
