South America Luxury Train Tours

South America’s first overnight luxury train, Belmond Andean Explorer, is the perfect example of this. Fairly new to Peru, this train offers a complete luxury experience. On Belmond Andean Explorer, you have access to a full spa car, lounge with a grand piano and bar, and two dining cars. The train includes 35 cabins ranging from bunk bed cabins to large suites, all with private bathrooms and around-the-clock room service.

Belmond Andean Explorer’s sister train, Belmond Hiram Bingham, is a day train that runs between Cusco and Machu Picchu. Between the train’s outdoor platform, the observation car, and the dining car, the journey between these two incredible stops will overwhelm your senses in the best possible way!

The tour starts in Lima, the capital of Peru. In addition to the beautiful views from the hotel suites, you also visit a monastery, the Larco Museum, and the Plaza Mayor, the hub of the city. Up next, you’ll fly to Cusco. The city of Cusco provides the chance to eat authentic Peruvian cuisine, visit important cultural centers, and explore leisurely. In addition to offering stunning views and architecture, the city has roots in Incan history.

Of course, many travelers are drawn to this luxury trip for the visit to Machu Picchu. This iconic archaeological site draws visitors from all over the world and IRT guests arrive in style on Belmond Hiram Bingham. After brunch on the train, you check into your hotel and leave to explore Machu Picchu. Year after year, this day is one that visitors are the most excited about.
