I Took A $1,200 Luxury Train To Machu Picchu. Was It Worth it? (Podcast #574)

from Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers · host Gary Bembridge Tips For Travellers

It costs $1,200 to take the Belmond Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu — roughly $1,000 more than the standard train option. So, was this luxury rail journey through the Andes an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience… or an over-hyped, over-priced way to reach the same ruins as everyone else? In this video, I reveal what the Hiram Bingham train is really like, what's included, what surprised me, what disappointed me, and whether I think it was worth the eye-watering extra cost.
