Andean Explorer

One of the highest train journeys on Earth, exploring ancient kingdoms to natural wonders from sunrise to sunset and all through the night.

Launching in May 2017, Belmond Andean Explorer takes you to some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world.

From Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire—traversing the highest plains of the Andes—to the reflective beauty of Lake Titicaca. Take the opportunity to explore the vast Colca Canyon then continue towards the city centre of Arequipa, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

An alternative itinerary can also be taken from Arequipa to Cusco in reverse.

 

'The journey by train becomes a moment to relax, rather than a stressful interlude between home and destination. Slow travel re-engineers time, transforming it into a commodity of abundance.'- Michael Williams, On The Slow Train
