The Belmond Hiram Bingham is one of the world's most exclusive trains. It's considered a luxury experience, offering first-class service that includes an observation car, live music (both local and international), complimentary cocktails, onboard beverages, and gourmet cuisine. It also includes exclusive amenities such as complimentary afternoon tea at the prestigious Sanctuary Lodge, A Belmond Hotel, before entering the citadel.

For your visit to the Machu Picchu citadel, we recommend wearing light clothing, comfortable shoes, and layers, as well as a raincoat if you're traveling between November and March. However, to fully enjoy the experience aboard the Hiram Bingham train (especially during the gourmet dinner), smart casual attire is suggested.

Due to train regulations to Machu Picchu, only a small backpack or handbag is permitted. We recommend bringing only the essentials for your overnight stay in Aguas Calientes (documents, toiletries, camera, and portable charger), leaving your heavy luggage safely at your hotel in Cusco.

This exclusive package covers all main meals during your train experience:
Day 1: Cocktails and beverages on board, gourmet lunch on the train, and complimentary tea at the Sanctuary Lodge. (Breakfast and dinner not included.)

Day 2: Breakfast at your accommodation in Aguas Calientes and a four-course gourmet dinner on board the return train. (Lunch not included.)

This tour is rated as Easy. It requires minimal physical fitness, has no age restrictions, and is ideal for family trips. Although the starting point in Cusco is at approximately 3,399 meters above sea level (and you will travel through high-altitude areas in the region), the journey to Machu Picchu involves descending into the cloud forest, making the exploration of the citadel very accessible and comfortable.

You'll have the entire morning free in Aguas Calientes. You can use your time to:
Relax in the warm waters of the hot springs.
Take a short hike to the nearby waterfall.
Visit the local butterfly garden to see exotic species.
Explore the artisan market to buy unique handmade souvenirs.

The Hiram Bingham train to Belmond is a very exclusive service with limited capacity and operates every day of the year (except the last Sunday of each month). We recommend booking at least 2 to 3 months in advance, especially if you plan to travel during peak season (May to September), to guarantee availability of train tickets, Machu Picchu entrance fees, and your overnight accommodation.

You must bring your original passport or valid physical ID card, valid for at least six months beyond its expiration date. If you are a student and wish to apply for a discount on tickets (subject to prior arrangement), you must bring your physical ISIC card.
