What makes Hiram Bingham Round Trip Luxury Train to Machu Picchu a unique experience ?
After hotel pickup in Cusco, take a 20-minute drive to Poroy station, where a welcome drink is offered to you before you step on the train. Once you're on board, thread your way through a sparkling interior of brass and polished wood to find your elegantly upholstered seat. During the 3-hour ascent to the Aguas Calientes, the nearest station to Machu Picchu, explore the train’s observation platform, bar car and two dining wagons, where you’ll enjoy a 3-course lunch (see a sample menu in Itinerary below). Meals below are paired with wine suggested by the sommelier. Sample lunch menu (subject to change) First course: • Wayllabamba trout with fava beans, Andean mint and airampo emulsion Main course: • Lamb cannelloni with spring greens, elderberry and potato pesto Dessert: • Organic cocoa with pineapple, olive oil, Maca toffee, Maras salt and lavender
When you arrive at the Aguas Calientes station, board a shuttle bus specially reserved for Hiram Bingham passengers. Stroll through the cloud-shrouded archaeological site with a guide who leads you through the ancient city’s main streets, ceremonial shrines, solar clock and precisely carved stairways. Learn about how the Incas designed the small city to be self-contained, built with agricultural terraces that fed its residents and watered by natural springs.
After the guided tour, walk over to Belmond Sanctuary Lodge for afternoon tea. Enjoy scones and sandwiches with tea or coffee, or try appetizers and choose from a selection of wine.
