The Belmond Andean Explorer is a sleeper train that will take its passengers in luxurious comfort on a two-night journey across the vast plains of Peru, 4,800 metres above sea level. The train will make stops at the city of Arequipa, a World Heritage Site; on the shores of Lake Titicaca, with its floating islands; and by the spectacularly deep Colca Canyon. Meals prepared with fresh ingredients grown locally will be served on board. The train’s open observation deck will allow the passengers to enjoy, with drink in hand, the dramatic expanse of the Peruvian highlands rolling past before their eyes. The first train leaves in May next year. belmond.com
