Peru by Rail

Experience Peru at a more leisurely pace, combining fascinating history, spectacular Andean scenery and some of the country’s most iconic rail journeys.

Beginning in Lima, this 11-day private journey takes you into the Andes and the heart of the Inca world. Explore the colonial treasures and excellent museums of Lima before travelling to the Sacred Valley, where ancient terraces, archaeological sites and traditional Andean landscapes provide a spectacular introduction to the region.

One of the highlights is the journey to Machu Picchu aboard the luxurious Hiram Bingham train. With an overnight stay close to the ruins, there is time to experience this extraordinary Inca citadel without the pressure of a day-trip schedule, before returning to Cusco.

In Cusco, discover the remarkable blend of Inca and Spanish heritage, with time to explore the city at your own pace. The journey then continues by rail across the high Andean altiplano towards Lake Titicaca, passing remote villages, llamas and alpacas, snow-capped mountains and some truly spectacular scenery.

The final rail journey heads towards Arequipa, travelling through volcanic landscapes and high-altitude wilderness before arriving in Peru’s beautiful ‘White City’.

With luxury rail travel, carefully chosen hotels, private guiding and some of Peru’s most unforgettable landscapes and cultural highlights, Peru by Rail is an ideal choice for travellers who want to experience the country in comfort while making the journey itself part of the adventure.
