Overview
Ten days through the soul of Peru — Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley and Lake Titicaca — woven together by South America's first luxury sleeper train, the Belmond Andean Explorer. Wake to glaciated peaks outside your suite window, dine on tasting menus paired with Peruvian wines, and drift through one of the highest railway routes in the world.
Paired with stays at Belmond Miraflores Park in Lima and iconic Belmond properties in the Andes, this is the definitive luxury Peru tour — as much a journey as a destination.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Arrival in Lima · Pacific Welcome
A private concierge collects you at Jorge Chávez International Airport and delivers you to Belmond Miraflores Park Hotel. Afternoon and evening at leisure in Miraflores, with optional dining recommendations from our culinary team.
Private Lima City Tour
A full day of contrasts — Miraflores, Barranco's bohemian streets, the colonial Historic Center with its Plaza Mayor, Cathedral and Saint Francisco Convent catacombs. Evening in Lima's celebrated restaurant scene.
Lima → Cusco → Sacred Valley
Flight to Cusco followed by a private transfer directly to the Sacred Valley for a gentler altitude acclimatization. Check-in at Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado on the banks of the Urubamba River.

Machu Picchu · The Lost City
Vistadome train to Aguas Calientes, private guided visit to the citadel, and the option to stay overnight at the iconic Belmond Sanctuary Lodge — the only hotel at the gates of Machu Picchu itself.
Second Sunrise at Machu Picchu · Cusco
A second sunrise visit to the citadel at your leisure before boarding the Vistadome back to Cusco, where the 16th-century Belmond Hotel Monasterio awaits.

Private guided discovery of the Cathedral, Qoricancha, Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay. Afternoon at leisure in Cusco's artisan quarters.
Belmond Andean Explorer · Cusco → Lake Titicaca
