I Took A $1,200 Luxury Train To Machu Picchu. Was It Worth it?

It costs $1,200 to take the Belmond Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu — roughly $1,000 more than the standard train option.

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.
