Travel in Ultimate Style on the Belmond Andean Explorer

Travel in ultimate style on board the Belmond Andean Explorer, South America's first luxury sleeper train. This remarkable journey links the former Inca capital of Cusco with the beautiful 'white city' of Arequipa, passing through the majestic landscapes of the Peruvian altiplano and the serene islands of Lake Titicaca.

Highlights of the Journey

Spectacular Andean Scenery

From the open-air observation deck, enjoy sweeping views of high plains, remote valleys and snow-dusted peaks — pisco sour in hand, with fellow travellers sharing the moment.

Elegant Onboard Experience

• Lounge bar with a grand piano for relaxed evenings.
• Two beautifully designed dining cars serving dishes crafted by skilled chefs using fresh, local ingredients.
• Luxurious cabins inspired by traditional Peruvian textiles.
• Private en-suite showers for comfort at high altitude.

Two-Night Itinerary: Cusco to Arequipa

The two-night route offers the perfect balance of exploration and relaxation. Along the way, the train stops at Lake Titicaca, where guests visit the Uros floating reed islands and the traditional Taquille Island, renowned for its sweeping views and rich cultural heritage.

There is also the opportunity to discover ancient rock art left by the region’s earliest inhabitants and to explore the Colca Canyon – twice as deep as the Grand Canyon and one of the best places in South America to see the powerful Andean condor.

One-Night Service: Lake Titicaca to Cusco

For those seeking a shorter experience, a one-night journey operates between Lake Titicaca and Cusco, offering the same refined ambience, exceptional landscapes and signature Belmond service in a more condensed format.
