LUXURY TRAVEL

F or many, a trip to Machu Picchu
is a once in a lifetime experience.
The Belmond Hiram Bingham
assures a magical journey, never
to be forgotten. The train has two dining cars,
an observation/bar car, and a kitchen car.
The carriages, decorated in the style of 1920s
Pullman carriages, have been furnished in
polished wood and brass with large comfortable
armchairs.

The dining cars’ tables are exquisitely set with
gleaming crystal and polished cutlery to enjoy
brunch and a gastronomic dinner, specially
created by an onboard chef. The observation car
is furnished with large cushioned seats, making
it the perfect place to sit, relax and watch the
spectacular Peruvian landscape unfold.

For those wanting a longer visit, the only hotel
located adjacent to the ancient Inca citadel is
the Belmond Sanctuary Lodge. It offers guests
exceptionally easy access, from early morning
to late afternoon, when most of the day visitors
have left, giving opportunities to explore
the magical buildings and areas with their
magnificent vistas. Peruvian cuisine based on
the Lodge's garden harvest add to the enjoyment
of this tranquil setting with its famous orchid
collection and luxury accommodation.
