Andean Explorer - (Itineraries and fares)

This spectacular rail journey begins in historic Cusco and travels south to the beautiful city of Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca.

On the journey the train makes a gentle climb to higher, and cooler, altitudes. The first half of the journey is dominated by the magnificent Andean mountains which tower over the deep valleys of the meandering Huatanay River. It then reaches the gentler, rolling Andean Plains, where vicuña and alpaca can be seen. If travelling aboard the Andean Explorer, the glass-walled observation car provides the perfect opportunity to view the beautiful scenery.

The journey is broken by a scenic stop at La Raya, which is also the highest point on the route. (more information ....)
