Striking against the vast Peruvian highlands, the Andean Explorer introduces a fresh expression of luxury rail travel in South America. Its deep blue carriages move with quiet confidence across the plateau, while inside, the design leans into a calm, modern sensibility, earth-toned interiors layered with alpaca textures, leather accents, and subtle references to local culture. The presence of the Chakana cross appears throughout, quietly anchoring the experience in Andean heritage.

The journey unfolds through a series of striking contrasts. The still waters of Lake Titicaca bring a sense of calm, while the floating communities of the Uros Islands reveal an enduring connection between people and place. Between Puno and Cusco, vibrant stops like La Raya Market introduce color and local character, before the route continues toward Arequipa, known for its volcanic stone architecture and rich culinary traditions.

Dining takes place in the Llama dining car and Muña dining car, where the atmosphere is refined yet relaxed. Interiors combine muted tones with handcrafted details, creating an intimate setting for meals that highlight Peru’s diverse ingredients and regional influences.

The Maca Lounge Car serves as the social heart of the train. Anchored by a grand piano, the space naturally draws guests together—whether for live music in the evening or quiet conversation over a well-crafted drink.

At the rear, the Observation Car offers a more immersive connection to the landscape. Its open deck invites you to step outside, take in the crisp Andean air, and watch the scenery unfold without interruption.

The Picaflor Spa Car introduces a restorative element to the journey. Treatments are designed with altitude in mind, combining local botanicals and therapeutic techniques to ease the body and restore balance as the train continues its path through the Andes.
