Overnight train

Andean Explorer

Peru's luxury sleeper train across the high Andes, linking Cusco, Lake Titicaca and Arequipa.

The Andean Explorer crosses the Peruvian altiplano, at altitudes above 4000 metres in places. Journeys link Cusco, Puno on Lake Titicaca and Arequipa, over one or two nights. The scenery shifts from green valleys to high, open plains. Off-train visits can include the islands of Lake Titicaca and ancient rock art at the Sumbay Caves.

On board, there is a spa car, a piano bar and an open-air observation car. Menus showcase Peruvian ingredients, served in two dining cars. Days are unhurried, with time to watch the altiplano roll past. A nurse travels on every journey, with oxygen available to help with the altitude.
