Machu Picchu for Luxury Travelers: VIP and Private Experiences

The Inca Citadel Elevated to Legendary Status

More than a world wonder, Machu Picchu is key for every traveler who visits it. For those who value privacy, impeccable comfort, and an authentic cultural immersion, the visit to this Inca jewel must be as legendary as the citadel itself. It is not just about seeing the Lost City, but about experiencing it at your own pace: unhurried, crowd-free, and with privileged access to its history and meaning.

If you dream of a Machu Picchu luxury tour, we will provide you with all the information and tips you need. We will show you the routes, the trains, and the secrets to experience the climax of Peru with unparalleled elegance.

Hiram Bingham Train Machu Picchu

The luxury experience begins long before you set foot in the citadel. The route from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Town) is a spectacular landscape that deserves to be enjoyed with the utmost sophistication. The Hiram Bingham Train Machu Picchu is the symbol of this journey.

Named in honor of the explorer who 'rediscovered' Machu Picchu, this train, operated by Belmond, offers a luxury experience. Its elegant blue and gold carriages, inspired by the Pullman trains of the 1920s, transport you to an era of glamour and discovery.

The service includes:

• Gourmet Brunch or Dinner: Served onboard with luxury tableware and selected Peruvian and international wines.
• Observation Car: An open-air carriage with a platform to contemplate the immensity of the Sacred Valley.
• Onboard Entertainment: Live Andean music and an open bar service (including Pisco Sours) in the lounge car.

Traveler’s Tip: The Hiram Bingham train offers an exclusive bus to ascend to the citadel, bypassing the regular bus lines and bustle.

VIP Private Machu Picchu Tour and Secret Routes

Visiting Machu Picchu on a VIP private tour is one of the best ways to fully enjoy it, as you can customize it according to your preferences.

Exclusive and Connected Guidance

With a private guide, the history of Machu Picchu becomes a personal and in-depth narrative about Inca astronomy, engineering, or Andean shamanism.

• Strategic Timings: The VIP tour is coordinated to visit key areas at times of lower foot traffic, usually first thing in the morning (opening) or late in the afternoon, allowing you to capture iconic photographs without crowds.
• Preferential Circuits: Access to the circuits that offer the best views, such as Circuit 2, or more limited options like Circuit 3 - Huaynapicchu. You have several options that you can customize if you are on a private service.

Luxury Inca Trail to Machu Picchu:

For the luxury traveler seeking adventure, physical, and spiritual connection, the Luxury Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is the best option. This 4 or 5-day trekking experience elevates the concept of "camping" to a glamping level:

• Luxury Tents: Spacious, with comfortable beds and quality bedding.
• Private Chef Service: Gourmet meals prepared with fresh ingredients and served in elegant dining tents.
• Masseuse and Hot Showers: Services that guarantee relaxation and comfort even in the middle of the mountain.

This is the most exclusive way to reach Machu Picchu, entering through the Sun Gate (Intipunku) at dawn, with a privileged view and the satisfaction of having completed one of the world's most iconic treks, with the utmost comfort.

Luxury Hotels and Andean Fine Dining

World-class comfort and gastronomy are pillars of any Machu Picchu luxury tour.

Stays with History and Privileged Views

Choosing the right accommodation is crucial. Luxury packages focus on hotels that not only offer five-star amenities but also extend the cultural experience:

Tips for Designing Your Luxury Machu Picchu Tour

Planning a VIP experience requires precise coordination and local knowledge.

Best Time to Book Your Luxury Experience

• Dry Season (April to October): Blue skies and low risk of rain. Ideal for luxury treks (Inca Trail). This is the high season; booking 6-8 months in advance is crucial.
• Transition Season (March and November): The best balance. Fewer tourists than in high season and greener landscapes.

Essential Private Tour Planning

• Entry Tickets: Tickets for Machu Picchu, Huayna Picchu, and the Hiram Bingham Train sell out quickly. A luxury operator guarantees the reservation of your spots with the necessary anticipation.
• Personalized Guide: Ensure that your private guide is accredited to guide in Machu Picchu and possesses in-depth knowledge of the site.
• Acclimatization in Cusco and the Sacred Valley: A luxury package must include at least 2-3 nights in Cusco or the Sacred Valley before going to Machu Picchu, guaranteeing your physical comfort.
