I left my home at 7 am and rode to Poroy Station where I would embark on my journey to Machu Picchu with Belmond Hiram Bingham train and tour. After spending a day touring Cusco, Peru and organizing my trip to Machu Pichu (which took some time), it was Machu Picchu Day!
The ride was mostly through small towns and was a lot of fun, even though I had some weather on the journey.
Once on the train, you get amazing 5-star service and the train is gorgeous, you sweep slowly through valleys and towns. I also got to meet some interesting people along the journey, from all walks of life (mainly well to do) and had a great experience with my tour group of six people.
Belmond Hiram Bingham to Machu Picchu
I decided to splurge on this trip and go on the Belmond Hiram Bingham experience to Machu Picchu. This was a 5 Star Endeavour, and it met just about all my expectations. Firstly I met the train at Poroy Station and was entertained by some indigenous dancing and music and some light refreshments. I was also interviewed by one of the managers and given my information as to what my day would entail and my guide.
We then board this beautiful old train and get assigned a seat with a table. You can walk all through the train to the rear where more music is played with beer, champagne, a

Belmond Andean Explorer
South American luxury sleeper train
The Belmond Andean Explorer, launched in May 2017, is South America's first luxury sleeper train.[1] It replaces the eponymous Pullman day train, between Cusco and Puno, at Lake Titicaca. By the new train this trip is converted to a one-night journey, and extended from Puno for another overnight ride to Arequipa.[2]
From Cusco the train climbs to 4,800 metres (15,700 ft) on the Altiplano, before arriving at Lake Titicaca to pause for excursions to floating islands. It then continues to Arequipa, a city with a UNESCO World Heritage Site centre, stopping en route at Sumbay Caves. It is possible to add on a visit to the Colca Canyon, known for its condors.
The trainset used to serve as the Great South Pacific Express in Australia between 1999 and 2003. The since-mothballed carriages were shipped to Peru in February 2016,[3] where they were refurbished. The three accommodation levels of the GSPE with double, twin and bunk beds - all of them with en-suite bathroom - has been kept,[4] as well as the two dining and bar cars, and the last car having an open-air observation deck.[5]
Belmond Andean Explorer is owned by PeruRail, and is a 50%/50% joint venture
