Scheduled for a launch in May 2017, the train is set to travel along one of the highest rail routes on earth traversing the Peruvian Andes from Cusco to Lake Titicaca and Arequipa, exploring natural wonders and ancient kingdoms on one and two night journeys.
Belmond Andean Explorer is designed to connect guests with the abundant nature of the Peruvian Andes. Interior designs, by Inge Moore of The Gallery HBA, are inspired by the texture of Peru’s hand-woven fabrics and the soft tones of the Alpaca wool blended with Andean slate greys, creating a sense of calm, enabling guests to unplug, relax and enjoy the journey.
A selection of four journeys include ‘Peruvian Highlands’, a two night, three day journey departing from Cusco, travelling across the highest plains of the Andes reaching 4800 m in altitude, to Puno where guests can visit the remote villages and floating islands on Lake Titicaca and then onwards to the city centre of Arequipa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Highlights of this journey include a chance to explore the vast Colca Canyon, the dramatic realm of the condor. Or, the ‘Spirit of the Andes’ journey traverses the Altiplano from Lake Titicaca to Cusco, for an overnight escape.
Belmond Andean Explorer accommodates 68 guests in refined, en-suite cabins. Prices start from $462 per person for the one night, ‘Spirit of the Andes’ journey, fully inclusive including all meals, an open bar and scheduled excursions.
