During this full-day tour you’ll ride a luxury train from Cusco to Puno, one of the most spectacular routes in all of Peru. This is one of the highest passenger trains in the world.

On this tour you’ll ride a comfortable train through the beautiful Andean landscape. The tour begins in Cusco and ends in Puno (Lake Titicaca). The train renamed as Titicaca Deluxe Train (before Andean Explorer), is first-class and the route is considered one of the best in all of South America. From start to finish, this tour lasts 10 hours.

The train is decorated in the style of Pullman trains from the 1920s. It has an elegant dining car and a car-bar outdoor observatory—from here, you can admire views of the Andes and Huataney River. You’ll see alpaca and vicuña foraging in the high plains, and locals strolling through small villages. The train also makes a brief stop in La Raya—located at an elevation of 14,150 feet (4,313 m), La Raya hosts a colonial chapel set upon a high plateau. It’s a very picturesque and attractive area.
