The Belmond Andean Explorer snakes its way through the highest plains of the Andes.
What we love about Belmond Andean Explorer
- Deluxe en-suite cabins are cosy & thoughtfully designed, featuring queen-size beds, alpaca wool throws, writing tables and stylish robes and slippers
- Enjoy fantastic views from the cabin, with picture windows to take in the changing scenery
- Arrive to fresh flowers & champagne and a complimentary massage, courtesy of Plan South America aboard the Belmond Andean Explorer
- Evenings are a cosy affair – don’t miss Alejandro’s signature cocktails, followed by a spoiling three-course candlelit dinner in the elegant dining carriage
- Executive Chef, Diego Munoz, presides over a menu of well-executed Peruvian favourites
The first stop takes in the important archaeological site of ancient Inca ruins, Raqch’i, deep in the Andes.
Sip Pisco Sours in the observation carriage & watch a mesmerising sunset over the La Raya mountain range.
Next stop: Lake Titicaca. Travel by reed boat to meet with communities & local artisans on the floating Uros islands. The journey continues to Taquile Island for a beachside lunch.
If time allows, spend a day or two relaxing at the romantic lakeside lodge, Titilaka – a perfect honeymoon hideaway.
Hop back aboard the Belmond Andean Explorer for a comfortable night’s sleep, continuing the journey to Arequipa, Peru’s second-largest city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dubbed the White City, its colonial buildings glow with sillar from the surrounding volcanoes – arriving here by train is magical.
From Arequipa, journey through Andean villages and Inca ruins to explore the extraordinary Colca Canyon, twice the depth of America’s Grand Canyon, bordered by snowcapped peaks. Colca Canyon offers spectacular outdoor adventures such as rafting, hiking & visits to hot springs. It is an amazing place to watch majestic Andean condors riding thermals & swooping low into the canyon.
