VISIT MACHU PICCHU IN STYLE
Launched in 2003, the Hiram Bingham is a luxurious Belmond Train that escorts its guests high into the Andes of Peru, travelling from the Inca capital of Cusco to the infamous Lost City of the Incas, Machu Picchu. Named after the American explorer, Hiram Bingham, who re-discovered the site of Machu Picchu, the train promises a lively ambiance, sensational cuisine and a rail adventure through Peru like no other.
When you step aboard the authentic Pullman-style carriages, you will be transported back in time. The décor of wood-panelled interiors and brass finishes evoke the classic 1920’s parlour cars, yet with a twist, as the Hiram Bingham is infused with a distinctly lavish Peruvian soul. As you make your way to the heart of the Inca Empire, you will be surrounded by the exquisite views of the soaring mountains between Cusco and Machu Picchu.
Before you step aboard, you will have the chance to explore Cusco and its centuries-old Spanish colonial architecture and Inca history. In the early light of the next morning, you will embark on your luxury train journey up towards to the legendary site of Machu Picchu with a welcome cocktail, brunch and a gourmet lunch whilst being immersed in the awe-inspiring Peruvian scenery. On your return journey, you can enjoy the incredible Peruvian culinary dishes whilst listening to traditional live Peruvian music in the Bar Car.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
