It´s a journey in which the traveller will have a full day of unforgettable experiences between the mystical Andean mountains and the most exclusive luxury that a train can offer. The two dining cars, its bar car with observatory, its kitchen car; the welcoming with sparkling wine and its traditional dancing show are only few of the reasons that converted it in everything that it means today. « less

Everything was very well organised from boarding the train, service, entertainment to disembarking. The staff could not have been more friendlier or efficient, they treated us like royalty. The food is as you would expect from the Orient Express, excellent. We enjoyed the band on our return journey. When my sister had altitude sickness the staff dealt with the upmost... More

A beautifully appointed train that makes the trip to Machu Picchu a real pleasure. Incredible service; wonderful people; great food on board the train. And, of course, unlimited Pisco sours! More

If you can afford it...take the HB back from Machu Picchu...it is leisurely ride and the 5 course meal is wonderful. The service is superior. It is very pricey...have to consider the experience and the food! More

Took the train from Aguas Caliente to Ollyntambo and it was a fun, albeit unique experience. The train was very clean. The staff served us small 'snacks' which were actually quite elaborate h'or doueveres. Further, the staff put on a fashion show down the aisle. Kept things interesting and the views are not bad too!

We enjoyed this train to Machu Picchu and back, enjoying the comfort and luxury of this train.
