PeruRail

Perurail links most of the tourist highlights of the Andes in Peru and is undoubtably the most spectacular way to discover the ancient land of the Incas, taking you through scenery of outstanding beauty and to places almost unaccesible by other means.

Hiram Bingham
The ultimate way to journey to Machu Picchu is aboard the Hiram Bingham luxury train. Leaving Cuzco behind, it passes poplar-dotted plains and terraced mountain slopes before following the rushing Urubamba River towards the legendary Inca citadel.     

Departing from Poroy Station (20 minutes from Cuzco centre) at 09.00am, the Hiram Bingham gives a more leisurely start to the day than traditional departures. Brunch is served on board and guides are present to explain points of interest en route, as well as in the ruins at Machu Picchu. Afternoon Tea is served at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, located just steps from the ancient citadel. Once back on board for the 6.00pm departure, pre-dinner cocktails are served, accompanied by live entertainment and a four-course, à la carte dinner. 

PeruRail also offer two further services on the Cuzco-Machu Picchu route:

Vistadome
Remodeled carriages with enormous panoramic windows allow superb views and enhanced photographic opportunities.

Backpacker
Created for adventure passengers seeking comfort and security without all the frills. The seats have been re-upholstered with indigenous fabrics, giving a touch of local flavour.   
 
PeruRail also operates services to Lake Titicaca and Arequipa (from Lake Titicaca), two of the world’s highest and most scenic railway journeys.
