On our travels around the world, we fell in love with the Peru and train training. Therefore, when we saw the opportunity to join the two they would like to ride in South America train, we jumped into a chance.
Andean Explorer goes a higher rate than any other luxury train in the world. With its three-day trip from Arequipa to Ecusquipa, we saw the best of Peru, history and culture in Peru while we enjoy the full of what it might be now.
Here are all you can expect of missions in the Andean Explorer.
Let’s take a train trip!
Before we entered Utinerary, here is a little history behind the Andean Explorer because I found it interesting.
The train was once part of the Great South Pacific Express, one of the most luxury-trains in Australia. In 2003, it was sold and sent to Peru where it retaliated local artists. The worst, in our opinion, that the train is designed for the same people as Singapore Airline First Class Suite (AKA). Without hesitation, this is one of the modern, light and flight trains.
Andean Explorer has three drawers of the drawer: Bunk Bed Cabins, Twin Bed Cabins, Suitites. We chose to live in a higher place, the leading train.
The room is joined, but full of everything we need on a journey. The bed was small, but it is very humble and is in line with Alpaca blankets and slippers to keep it warm at night in high altitism.
On each bedroom is a nighttand for storage, two stores, and thermos with the Andean product by looking at warm drinks for the journey.
There are two large windows in one wall that gives the pavement of the Andes Mountains. Two loving seats are the perfect residence and enjoy the vision.
Espresso drinking station and hotked Kattery was a little luxury, keeping us full of warm drinks for any hour of day.
Two cupboard and cabinets are under bed meant much to keep all our luggage.
The bathroom was packed with tons of high quality items, including SPF, Shimmery Bath Foam, and the Lip Balm made this trip free and comfortable!
In a train, there are two restaurants and two cars for food for food and cocktails after dinner. There is also a spinning spy on the luxury you don’t see in many trains, so we find it fun and kara is worthy of reading during our trip.
Our favorite railway part was an open air cart, where we could inspire the crisp mountain air and obtain 180-degree ideas of the Andes.
Trip across the Andean Plains
Day 1: arequipa on the Puno
After a train train in Arequipa, we headed for one of the brunch restaurants. All food has been installed on a journey, especially cooked by accredited cooks using local ingredients only. We focus on warm, lovely bread baskets, wine glasses, and potato soups in the Peruvian soup as our train is suspended.
All walked, our ears appeared as someone else because in the first 2,5 hours of trip, we climbed from 8,000 meters to 12 400 feet.
In the afternoon, the train stands in Sumbay caves to find the journey. This archaeological site sets out the paintings of the creation of 8,000 years and discusses the case of ancient cultural customs. If you feel a little tired, you can choose to stay on the train and receive a spa treatment or just enjoy viewing, as we do.
We look at the sun set up in the monitoring deck before the train dragged into the stars. Let me tell you, the stars in the Andes Mountains crazy. Among the darkness, far from any large city, we saw a Milky way and that was known as millions of stars.
Eliminating in the evening, the train is determined so we can sleep without increasing all bugs on track – we rely on the biggest train travel agreement.
Day 2: Puno in Marana
We woke up and early in the morning 2 Looking at the sun from Lake Titicaca. Waking this early hours of vacation is never fun, but train workers made it as much as much as possible by setting fires and coffee channels on the coast.
The train has a major impressive breakfast, so we filled Omelets, pastries, yogurt dishes, and more before leaving our day.
It was a little disappointing to leave the whole day train, but after a few hours walking in the highest pool, we forgot everything about that.
Lake Titicaca is home to Uros, who live in the floating islands of floating islands in the center of the lake. We are here with a local family a few years ago and up to this day is one of our favorite journey, so that here return many good memories. After visiting one of the floors islands, we visited the non-floating islands of a pleasant lunch of Champagne, folded potatoes, Lake Trout, and the Qunoa soup.
We have taken a small Siesta on the beach, set against the amazing backrop of Quinoa Fields, before returning the boat to find cards and pre-meal cocktails.
At another evening, our train walked literally in the heart of the city market. Deeply, merchants should have issued a way to avoid beating. Even then, we could find a train window and fled the top.
We enjoyed another evening dinner with the new friends we met. Employees were happy enough to make special birthday desserts and the date of birth of a new friend.
Day 3: Maragani to Cusco
On day 3, after breakfast, we continued the journey in Raqch’i, a unique archaeological site. The ancient city is home to many areas of the introduction stones that are used to store trading clothes. Most people speak only about Machu Picchu, so it was nice to see another example whats the Incas Archites were.
Our final breakfast on the train was normal. We all spread on Bar Carts, we love all our new friends and listen to live music in the background. As six of six trains, we should hear what this was one of our train ridden items.
