Belmond Andean Explorer - Cuzco Puno Peru

The train trip with the Andean Explorer from Cusco to Puno at the Lake Titicaca or in the opposite direction is one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world. The train is in the style of the 20s and offer an unreal luxury for these altitudes. 10 hours takes the journey for the 390-kilometer route. 

The starting point is Cusco at 3,300 meters above sea level and the first part is along the river Hutanay. 

After 210 kilometers, the train reaches the highest point of the trip. At 4,320 meters altitude, the train makes a short break in La Raya. Dazed by the height you can buy typical souvenirs from Peru. 

At km 281 the train reaches the dusty city of Juliaca with 150,000 inhabitants. The railway line goes right through the bustling market street in the center of the city. Behind the train, the market floods the railway tracks until they get invisible. 

In the end, the destination is reached. The city of Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca at 3,850 meters above sea level.
