8 Beautiful Train Journeys You’ll Never Forget (5 of 5)

8. Hiram Bingham Orient Express

Cuzco to Machu Picchu, Peru

Unlike the others on the list, the Hiram Bingham Orient Express is a daytrip rather than a multi-day journey. But it is still an unbeatable experience. The luxury train departs in Cuzco and reaches the bucket list destination of Machu Picchu in 3 ½ hours. Along the journey, you’ll get to enjoy an amazing brunch, sip on the very best wines Peru has to offer, and snap photos of the Urumba River Valley, numerous villages, and the Andean Mountains. A guided tour of the ancient Inca city is included in the price, and if you’d prefer to spend the night you are welcome to book a room at the high end Sanctuary Lodge Hotel.
