passengers watch the spectacular scenery unfolding
before them. From the agricultural plains of the
Sacred Valley, to the crashing waters of the
Urubamba River, and as you get closer to Machu
Picchu the soaring mountains, the scenery is
constantly changing, and the Hiram Bingham travels
at a speed where this can be appreciated.
The train arrives into Aguas Calientes where
private minibuses await passengers to escort them on
the fifteen minute journey up to the citadel,
avoiding the queues.
Upon arrival at the Machu Picchu entrance,
passengers can go straight into the citadel as
tickets will have been pre-purchased for all
guests.
A guide will escort you around the citadel in small
groups, pointing out the best of the ruins and
recounting the history of this Inca settlement.
After the guided tour, guests are given the choice
to wander alone through this fascinating World
Heritage site, or to enjoy Afternoon Tea at the
Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, the Orient-Express
hotel located right at the entrance to the citadel.
