Luxury day train from Cusco to Lake Titicaca through the Andes

Illustration of PeruRail Titicaca - Journeys

PeruRail's Titicaca train is a one-day luxury rail journey from Cusco to Puno on the shore of Lake Titicaca, crossing the spine of the Andes. The single day unfolds as a mobile celebration of Peruvian culture and cuisine. Passengers board in Cusco to a welcome show featuring three traditional dances performed in the Bar Car Observatory. The route climbs to La Raya village, the highest point, where you may browse local textiles and crafts. Onboard, a three-course gourmet lunch and afternoon tea anchor the day, while a bartender-led Pisco Sour class and live regional music fill the hours between. A baby alpaca garment fashion show adds a lighter note. The journey suits luxury-seekers and food-and-wine travellers who want a concentrated, curated experience rather than a multi-day itinerary. This is an afternoon arrival at Lake Titicaca, not an overnight stay.
