Peru Rail Titicaca

Crossing the Andes on the Cusco-Puno route aboard the PeruRail Titicaca Train is a truly once-in-a-lifetime adventure and one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world.

The train departs Cusco daily (trains from Puno to Cusco are on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays) and takes 10 and a half hours. Each train has an observatory car with open air access, a bar car including live entertainment and the dining car where, in the style of the Pullman cars of the 1920’s, you enjoy an included 3-course lunch blending International and Peruvian cuisine.

At the start of the journey, passengers are welcomed in Cusco or Puno, where local musicians serenade you on board the train. Created to provide passengers with the most comfortable journey possible, the train offers soft seating with good legroom and the chance to take panoramic pictures of some of the quintessential Andean landscapes from the open-air observatory car while listening to typical music of the Peruvian highlands. 

Included in your ticket is:

  • Hot welcome drink
  • Observatory car, an open-air balcony overlooking the Peruvian Andes
  • Dining car, a refined atmosphere to enjoy exquisite meals during the journey
  • Bar car, a space for the tasting of drinks services on board
  • 3-course gourmet lunch
  • Live music and typical dance
  • Pisco sour demonstration, an emblematic Peruvian cocktail
  • Tourist stop in the village of Abra La Raya
