Andean Explorer
Train from Cuzco to Lake Titicaca
This train route was awarded such as second rout most beautiful of world. This spectacular rail journey begins in historic Cuzco and travels south to the beautiful city of Puno, on the shores of Lake Titicaca. On the journey, the train makes a gentle climb to higher, and cooler, altitudes. The first half of the journey is dominated by the magnificent Andean mountains which towers over the deep valleys of the meandering Huatanay River. It then reaches the gentler, rolling Andean Plains, where vicuña and alpaca can be seen. If traveling aboard the Andean Explorer, the glass-walled observation car provides the perfect opportunity to view the beautiful scenery.
