Our 1920s Pullman-style carriages feature polished wooden marquetry, classic furniture, elegant upholstered armchairs and beautiful antique fittings.

Meaning ‘old mountain’ in Quechua, Machu Picchu is a bucket list site for adventurers' world-over.

The Hiram Bingham train was born from a spirit of adventure, echoing its namesake’s daring journey to uncover Machu Picchu in 1911.

Much like Professor Hiram Bingham’s climb into the clouds of the Andes, the train sweeps guests through misty peaks in timeless style, reinventing exploration for the modern luxury adventurer.

Dining

Elegant dining tables set with glasses and serviettes line the windowed aisle of a vintage railway carriage with warm lighting and plush seating, evoking a classic, luxurious travel atmosphere.

With light lunches, gourmet dinners and delicious regional wines, dining aboard Hiram Bingham is pure indulgence.

Entertainment

Two dancers in black trousers and flared red fluffy skirts, hats and pompoms, and holding flutes perform on a train platform.

Embrace the vibrant South American spirit and dance the evening away as our train comes to life along Peru’s most iconic railroad.
