The Hiram Bingham to Machu Picchu

Listed under Train Journeys in Cusco, Peru.

Three and a half hours on the appropriately named Hiram Bingham (titled for the first person to bring global publicity to Machu Picchu in 1911) will carry you from Poroy to Machu Picchu in style, with a knowledgeable guide on the way there and traditional live entertainment on the return journey.
