Machu Picchu with Belmond
About
It’s on the bucket list of most adventurers but with Belmond, Machu Picchu isn’t just an experience, it’s an event.
The Journey
The best way to travel to the Lost City of the Incas is on the Hiram Bingham train, in unforgettable style. Launched in 2003, named after the American explorer who re-discovered the historic sanctuary, here you enjoy the elegance and ambiance of the 1920’s parlour cars as you traverse through the Peruvian highlands.
Your experience begins with a cocktail on arrival, brunch, and a gourmet lunch. Throughout the trip, you will feel the South American spirit in full effect with musicians playing in the Bar Car as you wind your way through the mountains between Cussco and Machu Picchu. A trip to the observation car is a must and the perfect place to see Machu Picchu in all its glory for the very first time.
The Destination
On arrival, you will be met by a personal guide for a tour of the ancient site which culminates in afternoon tea at Belmond Sanctuary Lodge. Here you have the choice to enjoy an equally stunning experience on the way back or stay at this incredible property, the only one at the entrance to Machu Picchu.
Belmond Sanctuary Lodge is the absolute best place to bookend a trip to the ancient Inca Citadel. The hotel offers easy and amazing access to the ruins allowing you to beat the rush and avoid the crowds. Consisting of 32 ecologically friendly rooms, each offers sweeping views and supreme comfort. As your day of exploration draws to a close, refuel with Peruvian fine dining at Tampu Restaurant and cap the evening off with a pisco sour tasting session at the bar. There are also great opportunities for you to indulge with a range of treatments based on ancient Inca techniques at the spa, yoga sessions or you may even choose to take part in a traditional shaman ceremony in the garden.
