The Andean Explorer is a Belmond luxury sleeper train operating through Peru, South America's first luxury sleeper train. It travels through the Peruvian Andes at some of the highest altitudes of any passenger train in the world, connecting Cusco, Puno and Arequipa with all meals, drinks and curated excursions included.
The Andean Explorer operates routes through the Peruvian highlands including Cusco to Puno, Puno to Arequipa, and multi-leg journeys combining these. The train passes through dramatic Andean scenery including Lake Titicaca and high-altitude plains. Contact our team for current routes and departure dates.
Your ticket includes private cabin accommodation, all meals and drinks on board, and the off-train excursions and cultural experiences listed in your specific itinerary. The train features a restaurant car, a piano bar car and an open-air observation car.
The Andean Explorer travels at significant altitude — Cusco sits at approximately 3,400 metres above sea level, and some sections of the route are higher. Altitude sickness can affect some travellers. We recommend arriving in Cusco a day or two before your departure to acclimatise, staying well hydrated, and consulting your doctor before travel if you have any concerns.
Yes, many guests combine an Andean Explorer journey with a visit to Machu Picchu via the Hiram Bingham train, which departs from Cusco and is also available through LuxuryTrainTickets.com. Our concierge team can help plan a combined Peru itinerary covering both experiences.
The Andean Explorer has a limited number of cabins and a seasonal timetable. Popular departures, particularly those combining Cusco, Puno and Arequipa, sell out well in advance. Contact our team as early as possible to discuss availability.
