Andean Explorer

Why choose this train?

Contemporary Andean sleeper—with the details made clear.

Four published itinerary patterns run on set weekdays: Peruvian Highlands, Andean Plains and Islands of Discovery, Spirit of the Water and Spirit of the Andes. The open deck is memorable at sunrise and sunset, but altitude is a genuine planning factor. Travelers should allow time to acclimatize before boarding, particularly when beginning in Cusco.

Cabins and suites

Accommodation varies materially by category. Our specialists compare floor space, bed configuration, private bathroom facilities, daytime seating and storage rather than relying only on the cabin name. We will explain the meaningful differences before you make a decision.

• Bunk Bed Cabin
• Twin Bed Cabin
• Suite Cabin

Dining and onboard life

Onboard meals and beverages are included on published itineraries, with menus drawing on Peruvian produce and flavors. Piano music, a lounge car and the spa give rail days a relaxed cadence. Dress is smart casual, with warm layers essential for early mornings and high-altitude stops.

Dining style, dress expectations and included beverages can differ by route or cabin. Ask us to confirm what applies to your chosen departure so the onboard experience meets your expectations.

• South America’s first luxury sleeper train
• High-altitude open observation deck
• Lake Titicaca and La Raya landscapes
• Spa carriage

Practical planning

The operator states that accommodation, onboard meals and beverages, entertainment, scheduled excursions, guides and bus transfers are included. Exact content depends on the booked itinerary. February is a planned annual pause. Premium drinks, spa services and items not specified in the confirmation should be treated as additional.

Accessibility and individual requirements

High altitude, steps, narrow carriage connections and excursions on uneven ground require advance discussion. Travelers with cardiac or respiratory concerns should obtain medical advice before committing.

Please share mobility, dietary, medical or celebration requirements at the inquiry stage. We will identify what can be requested and what must be confirmed before booking.
