Belmond Andean Explorer

Belmond Andean Explorer, scheduled to launch in May 2017, will be South America's first luxury sleeper train. It will be a replacement for the eponymous Pullman day train, which is currently operated between Cusco and Puno, at Lake Titicaca. By the new train this trip will be converted to a one-night journey, and extended from Puno for another overnight ride to Arequipa.

From Cusco it will climb to 4800 metres on the Altiplano, before arriving at Lake Titicaca to pause for excursions to floating islands. It will then continue to Arequipa, a city with a UNESCO World Heritage Site centre, stopping en route at Sumbay Caves. It is possible to add on a visit to the Colca Canyon, known for its condors.

The trainset used to serve as the Great South Pacific Express in Australia between 1999 and 2003. The since-mothballed carriages were shipped to Peru in February 2016, and get there a style refreshment. The former three accommodation levels of the GSPE with double, win and bunk beds - all of them with en-suite bathroom - will be kept, as well the two dining and bar cars, one of the last ones with an open-air observation deck.

Belmond Andean Explorer is owned by PeruRail, and is a 50%/50% joint venture between Belmond and Peruvian investor,namely Lorenzo Sousa, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Peru Rail SA, It will be operated by Peru Rail (company)Peru Rail, which has also got the Hiram Bingham Pullman train from Cusco to Machu Picchu.
