Peru in Motion: Andean Explorer

Rekindling the romance of the rails in Peru, Andean Explorer, a Belmond Train, is South America’s first luxury sleeper train. One and two-night journeys see guests gliding high across the Andean plains between Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, and the white city of Arequipa. The train climbs to an altitude of 4,300 meters.

Sixteen midnight-blue carriages accommodate just 48 passengers. Contemporary, Andean-inspired interiors embrace Peruvian motifs, hand-woven textiles and soft alpaca wool. In contrast to the striking landscape that glides past, each twin or double cabin offers a soothing blend of signature Peruvian accents and in-built oxygen for additional comfort at high altitudes. Hand-woven fabrics and soft, Alpaca-style textures invite a leisurely rest. An en suite bathroom and shower permit luxurious bathing even at this altitude.

From the famous floating island of Uros on the Lake Titicaca to the white Baroque city of Arequipa, marvel at the memorable destinations while sampling cutting edge Peruvian cuisine using Andean ingredients. Between unique curated tours and serene spa rituals, the Andean Explorer is the most luxurious way to experience Peru in motion.
