The Luxury Train from Cusco to Puno

Cabin Sanctuaries in the Sky

Your cabin is more than just a place to rest—it’s a private retreat crafted with timeless elegance and intention. Whether you’ve chosen a snug bunk or a spacious suite, you’ll find comfort elevated to new heights—literally. At over 4,800 metres above sea level, you wake to mountain light filtering through wide windows.

Outside, the world glides by: mist-wrapped peaks, golden plains, herds of alpacas, and villages frozen in time. You watch from the comfort of your bed, tea in hand, the rhythm of the train echoing the heartbeat of the Andes.

Moments Between Destinations

The magic of the Belmond Andean Explorer lies not just in where you go, but in the space between. Spend your mornings in the observation car, a rolling open-air lounge where the landscapes unfold like a moving gallery—fields of quinoa, glacial lakes, distant flamingos.

By afternoon, you might find yourself in the lounge car, sinking into a leather armchair as a pianist plays softly in the background. Or perhaps you’ll drift into the spa car, where a gentle massage brings calm to both body and spirit, perfectly in tune with the mountains outside.

Your journey includes an exclusive excursion to Raqchi, an awe-inspiring Inca site rarely accessed by mainstream routes. Here, the Temple of Wiracocha stretches into the sky, surrounded by tranquil fields and centuries-old stonework.

You’ll also enjoy authentic cultural exchanges with Andean communities—sharing stories, learning traditional crafts, and gaining a deeper understanding of life in this remarkable region. These aren’t staged moments—they’re genuine connections that stay with you long after the journey ends.
