It could only be us that got sick on the Belmond Andean explorer.. Peru's most luxury train...
Join us as we travel on South America's FIRST ever luxury sleeper train the Belmond Andean Explorer for 48 hours - 3 days and 2 nights across Peru. Starting in Arequipa and travelling over 700 kms and various towns to Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire and the start of Machu Picchu.
This has to be one of the world's most epic train journeys, and we'll show you every detail of the experience. From a tour of our premium-first class double cabin (bedroom) which comes with ensuite bathroom.. and believe it or not, a private shower on board piano room where they serve cocktails and canopies, suitable for a king.
We try the various food options available in the dining car including three and four course menus.
We also get the chance to briefly get off the train after we traverse the highest plains of the Andes before arriving at the reflective beauty of Lake Titicaca to visit a local community living on the most incredible floating villages at Puno station - the half way point.
Our aim is to give you an insight into this experience and what it's really like to spend three days on South America's first ever luxury sleeper train.
*spoiler alert - it was kind of rough due to the altitude sickness!
BUT you'll soon see why Peru has gone all out to create a beautiful, hand crafted train offering breathtaking views of the the most epic scenic route in Peru and also why the railroad itself is such an engineering achievement.
