Your adventure to the heart of the Inca Empire aboard the Hiram Bingham luxury train begins here. Our luxury train journeys are made to compliment the journey and the trains character, making the Hiram Bingham some of the finest train tours in the world. Known for its enchanting 1920’s style, the Hiram Bingham has been built to offer nothing less than pure perfection.
As you sink into your authentic armchair, watch as this beautiful part of the world seems to float by your window. As you take in the polished wood and brass, you gaze across the Peruvian scenery and take in the wonders that are before you. Making your way to the observation car, watch the sun ride or set to make way for starry skies. This really is a once-in-a-lifetime journey that you will treasure forever.
The Hiram Bingham is named after the explorer who rediscovered the Inca citadel, an ideal tribute to the journeys this luxury locomotive makes.

Settle back in style and be whisked away to a truly remarkable world.

The Hiram Bingham is a Belmond luxury day trip train operating in Peru, connecting Cusco's Poroy station with Aguas Calientes, the gateway to Machu Picchu. Named after the American explorer who brought Machu Picchu to international attention, it is widely regarded as one of the world's great short luxury train experiences.
Your ticket includes your seat on board in one of the elegantly appointed carriages, a brunch service on the way to Aguas Calientes, cocktails and live entertainment on the return journey, and a guided tour of Machu Picchu itself. It is a fully inclusive day experience from departure to return.
The Hiram Bingham is the premium service to Machu Picchu, operated by Belmond. Standard services to Aguas Calientes are available via Peru Rail, but offer a very different experience — no meals, no entertainment, no guided tour. The Hiram Bingham turns the journey into a key part of the Machu Picchu experience rather than simply a transfer.
Yes, the Hiram Bingham and Andean Explorer are frequently combined into a broader Peru itinerary. Both trains are available through LuxuryTrainTickets.com and our concierge team can plan the full trip including accommodation in Cusco and any additional experiences.
Entry to Machu Picchu is included in your Hiram Bingham ticket along with a guided tour. You do not need to arrange this separately when booking through LuxuryTrainTickets.com. Machu Picchu operates a timed entry system with limited daily capacity, another reason to book early.
The Hiram Bingham is one of the most sought-after train experiences in South America and availability is limited. We recommend booking as far in advance as possible, particularly for peak season departures between May and September. Contact our team to check current availability.
