The Belmond Hiram Bingham train operates Every day except for the last Sunday of each month.

PeruRail informs its passengers that the concessionaire in charge of the administration and maintenance of the railway determines the closure of the route between km 44 and km 61 that leads to Machu Picchu departing from Poroy (Cusco), therefore all train services on the route must operate on alternate roads. For that reason, in compliance with a regulatory measure, between January 2nd and April 30th, 2019, we will implement a Bimodal Service that combines bus and train journeys. During this period, passengers travelling through our train services Cusco – Machu Picchu – Cusco must board a private bus departing from Wanchaq train station, located 5 minutes far from the historic center of Cusco, in direction to Ollantaytambo train station (Sacred Valley). In this point, passengers will transfer to the train of their choice to Machu Picchu. The inbound journey will be carried out in reverse direction. For passengers traveling in our Belmond Hiram Bingham luxury service, the transfer point will be at Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado located in the Sacred Valley and the inbound journey will include the transfer to passengers´ hotels located in Cusco’s city center.
