6-Day Luxury Peru Experience
The same route as our five-day Cusco itinerary, done at the top of the market: the Palacio del Inka in Cusco, the Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu with lunch and a bar car, and a night in a glass mountain suite with the valley underneath you.
Highlights
- The Hiram Bingham — the luxury train to Machu Picchu, not the tourist service
- A night in a glass-walled mountain suite above the valley
- Palacio del Inka in Cusco, built into Inca foundations
- Private guiding throughout, including a paddle day most itineraries skip
