  • Welcome onboard a First Class Train that will blow your mind. If you’re thinking of taking the ultimate train journey, watch this first!
    With its unmatched scenery, Belmond’s Andean Explorer should top not just your train trip list, but your entire travel bucket list.
    Belmond launched the Andean Explorer in 2017 and, after a two year break -- by pure chance (!!) -- we were on the first trip onboard this First Class Train!
    In this video, we’ll travel across Peru from Cusco to Arequipa onboard the ultimate First Class Overnight Train in a luxurious suite, the ultimate First Class Train accommodation.
    You’ll see the First Class Train cabins available on this train along with the First Class Train Food!
    We’ll also explore Peru on our way, stopping at a town 14,200 feet in the Andes Mountains, Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, and to see some 10,000 year old cave paintings.
    You’ll see the sights, the food, and gain insight into what it’s like to travel on the ultimate First Class Train: Belmond’s Andean Explorer.

I've been 4 times. He says Lake Titicaca is one of his favorite places in the world. It is for me also. These trips will open your eyes to the wonders of our world and make you questions how you are living, what you are doing back home. I ended up retiring to Ecuador, and, 16 years later, have not regretted it. Best wishes, and, yes, you too can do this. JUST DO IT!

Your production values and commentary are absolutely world-class. In my younger, more able-bodied days I was lucky enough to travel much of the world first class, including 17 transatlantic ocean voyages during the golden era. In my 74th year I am now severely disabled with MS and no longer have the opportunity/money to travel as I might wish. Your videos enable me to experience vicariously what would otherwise be impossible. I wish you a lifetime of great traveling and I look forward to being lucky enough to follow you on your many journeys. Godspeed, Peter

    I did the day train trip from Puno to Cusco a few years ago, it was an absolutely enchanting day. The service & food was incredible, and I have never seen better views anywhere in the world. The weird thing was the negative reviews online - people complaining that the train was slow, that the seats were armchairs bolted to the floor rather than "proper" train seats, even complaining about the entertainment put on by the crew - I guess there is no pleasing some people!

If you can afford the flight to Peru and even this train, you can afford to spend money on the products of the local people, ultimately they make up most of Peru.

      Its not the same. Peru is born from the mixture of European and native culture. Like France is the mixture of Gauls, Romans and Germanic tribes, for example.
      While the sentiment is appreciated the Incas converted very quickly, 1 generation later most of the nobility was staunchly catholic.
      It seems the native religion was very similar in many ways so it made it easy to adapt.

    Jeb as a Peruvian I totally recommend the Pacaya Samiria Reserve is basically another universe in the same country. The Amazon forest is just spectacular.

    You lucky lucky people. What a stunning journey. The train is outstanding. The food looks amazing. I can't believe just how beautiful Peru is. All round it looks like the perfect journey to experience. Sometimes the grass really is greener. Thanks for this wonderful video. I'm disabled so could never travel like you two do so it's wonderful to be able to sit and watch these stunning journeys. Keep traveling as much as you can afford to do. You never know what the future holds. Get out there while your fit and healthy and soak up as much of our beautiful world as you can. X 😊
