The most common way to reach Machu Picchu is by train. Trains to Machu Picchu are owned and operated by British Orient Express.
The trains leave from the Poroy train station in the morning, which saves half-an-hour vis-ā-vis departing from Cusco. Taking a spectacular journey through a changing landscape, the trains descend into the Sacred Valley, passing lush fields and colorful villages in the foothills of the Andes. From there, the journey is highlighted by wonderful vistas of the mountains and the beautiful Urubamba River.
HIRAM BINGHAM: The distinctive carriages of the Hiram Bingham are warm and inviting with elegant interior upholstery. The train consists of 2 dining cars, an observation bar car and a kitchen car. The general style of the carriages reflects the luxury of the 1920s Pullman era. The Hiram Bingham departs Cusco at 9AM. Brunch is served on board, and the arrival at Machu Picchu at 12.30PM gives passengers the advantage of entering the Sanctuary when most of the visitors are beginning to exit. Departing at 6.00PM, pre-dinner cocktails and live entertainment are a prelude to a 4-course, a la carte dinner. (Min 01 Pax / Max 84 Pax). |
