Peru has been a mainstay on travelers’ bucket lists for one main reason: Machu Picchu. While the ruins are truly magnificent, there are many other attractions in this vast and diverse country.

Starting in May 2017, visitors to Peru can see and do it all in a shorter span of time thanks to Belmond’s new Luxury Sleeper Train, the Andean Explorer. Take in the stunning vistas of the mountains and lakes from the comfort of a private cabin with en-suite bath. There’s no more romantic way to travel than by train, and this new train provides a lounge car with a baby grand piano, two dining cars with Belmond Hotel chefs, and an open deck observation car – best enjoyed with a cocktail in hand.

The train route is the perfect addition to a Machu Picchu trip. Post-Inca Trail, hop onto the train in Cusco and cruise to Lake Titicaca, the highest altitude navigable lake in the world. After stopping to explore the green valleys and traditional villages of Colca Canyon, continue on to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Arequipa, a historic city surrounded by 3 volcanoes.

  

In a time when we are so mired with commitments that vacation seems to be a foreign word, take the time to fully relax and enjoy the beautiful country of Peru from the train tracks.

Christine at Esplanade Travel planned our recent trip which found us traveling to four very different and fascinating regions in Chile. The trip was absolutely beautiful, memorable and so suited to our specific interests! We have had the pleasure of working multiple times with travel consultants at Esplanade Travel and they continue to amaze us with the itineraries they develop and their close working contacts in other countries that always result in worry-free travel for us. We tend to stay in multiple areas with multiple connections and with the expertise in planning at Esplanade all of our reservations, contacts, pick-ups and drop-offs occur seamlessly. Our travels started in Santiago before heading south to the Lakes District, further south to Torres del Paine in Patagonia, then west to Easter Island. All of the lodges we stayed in were so comfortable with gorgeous views, the guides were super knowledgeable about the cultural and natural history of every location we visited, and the food was fantastic! On Easter Island our native guide, Sabrina, was able to provide us with her intimate knowledge, passed down to her from her ancestors, of the history and culture of the Rapa Nui people. I highly recommend Esplanade Travel to everyone, and I guarantee we will be contacting them to assist us with our next great adventure!
