Exploring the Land of the Incas

I saw a show about the train trip from Cuzco to Machu Picchu and was completely sold on it. I'd definitely opt for the Hiram Bingham, an Orient Express train and the epitome of luxury travel. I'll add this to my "List of Things To Do Before I'm So Old I Can Only Take Cruise Vacations".

At around noon, on July 23, 1911, an explorer named Hiram Bingham climbed up a steep hill and stumbled onto Machu Picchu, uncovering what had been up until that moment, the Incas' best kept secret. The World was stunned by his discovery. PeruRail's luxury train service between Cuzco and Machu Picchu, is named after the American explorer who discovered the stunning ruins of the ancient citadel.
