Luxury Machu Picchu Tour
Our Machu Picchu luxury tours redefine travel to Peru’s most legendary destination. Designed for discerning travelers, every detail is curated to deliver elegance, comfort and exclusivity.
You see, travel isn’t just about seeing a destination; it’s about feeling the place deep down.
Your adventure begins with a private transfer from your hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley to the train station, where you’ll board the iconic Hiram Bingham Train. Inspired by the elegance of the 1920s, its beautifully restored Pullman-style carriages, panoramic windows, observation car, live music, and impeccable onboard service transform the journey itself into one of the highlights of your vacation. As you travel through the Sacred Valley alongside the Urubamba River, you’ll enjoy gourmet cuisine, premium beverages, and spectacular Andean scenery before arriving at Machu Picchu.
At the sanctuary, your private guide will lead you through the most remarkable sectors of Machu Picchu, sharing the fascinating history, engineering achievements, and spiritual significance of the ancient Inca citadel. After your guided visit, you’ll enjoy an elegant afternoon tea at the exclusive Sanctuary Lodge before returning aboard the Hiram Bingham Train, where gourmet dining, handcrafted cocktails, live music, and first-class service provide the perfect ending to an extraordinary day.
Important: Your Machu Picchu entrance ticket is included with the tour. We always reserve the best official circuit available according to your travel date and train schedule. Whenever possible, we request one of the classic panoramic circuits; however, all routes depend on official government availability. Seats aboard the Hiram Bingham Train are extremely limited and often sell out months in advance, so early reservations are strongly recommended.
