The Belmond Hiram Bingham Train is considered one of the world’s top ten train routes, and after watching this video, it’s easy to see why. Besides the epic Sacred Valley scenery through the train window, the combination of the multi-course menu, ever-flowing drinks, and live music make for an incredible ride to Machu Picchu.
Though it is not the only way to reach Machu Picchu, Belmond’s train will take you to the Inca citadel famously rediscovered by the locomotive’s namesake, the American explorer Hiram Bingham, in absolute style and comfort.
