Hiram Bingham & Andean Explorer Trains

Trip Synopsis

Come aboard and experience the best of the best train journeys in South America, an eight-day, seven-night magical journey through spectacular mountainous terrain to Peru’s most intriguing Andean traveler destinations, including Cusco, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and Arequipa. 

The journey begins in downtown Cusco, from which we travel on the Incarail First Class Train to Machu Picchu. This portion of the journey includes ascending zigzags inside Cusco itself as the train gains altitude to reach the station of Porroy. After a private visit to Machu Picchu, we have dinner aboard the luxury Belmond Hiram Bingham train on the return journey to Cusco. 

We continue the journey on the luxury sleeper train Belmond Andean Explorer, among the most luxurious and spectacular train journeys in the world. The Andean Explorer Train carries us through the mountains to Puno, a town located on the shores of Lake Titicaca, where we visit the Floating Islands of the Uros and the Taquile Islands.

The last leg of our journey takes us to Arequipa, Peru’s second-largest city. The Andean Explorer Train is the only passenger train that travels the railroad from Puno to Arequipa. In Arequipa, we end our luxury train adventure with a tour of the city.  

Quite simply, it’s the ultimate Peru train adventure! But don’t just take our word for it: this Andean train tour is something you need to experience for yourself!
