Day 4: Machu Picchu Luxe
Any visit to Machu Picchu is a unique experience no matter how you get there but it becomes a little more special when you are able to do it in style. Start your visit with a transfer to the station in Ollantaytambo where you board the Hiram Bingham luxury train. In an experience similar to the Orient Express (which is operated by the same company) you enjoy an elegant lunch along with Peruvian wines. You meet your guide for a guided tour of the site while enjoying afternoon tea at an elegant Lodge, the only one in proximity to the site. Finish up your guided visit and then re-board the Hiram Bingham for cocktails in the lounge car followed by an elegant dinner in the dining car. You are then transferred back to the Sacred Valley.

Day 5: All aboard for Puno
Following breakfast you are transferred to Cusco where you board the modern and elegant Belmond Andean Explorer whose wide picture windows will allow you to enjoy the sights as you travel one of the highest railway lines in the world.

In the afternoon, you disembark at the town of Raqchi to do some exploring before re-boarding in time for afternoon tea.
