The Andean ExplorerWitness the glorious scenery of theAndes Mountains during a scenic railjourney from Cuzco to Puno aboard theAndean Explorer. This full-day train ridetakes you from Cuzco, the ancient Incacapital, to Puno and Lake Titicaca, birthplace of the Inca.

Legend has it that the sun god Intirose out of the lake and created MancoCapac, the first Inca. It is fitting, therefore, that Puno, which sits on thenorthern shore of Lake Titicaca, is thefolkloric capital of Peru.

Your journey begins in Cuzco. Thetrain takes you through the HuatanayRiver valley and the majestic AndesMountains. Cuzco sits at 11,152 feetabove sea level, but the train will takeyou even higher. The temperature getsnoticeably cooler as you ascend to higher altitudes and the Altiplano, theAndean plateau. The train stops at La Raya, at 14,177 feet, the highestpoint on the route, before descendingto Puno and Lake Titicaca at 12,549feet.

The trains, decorated in the elegantstyle of the turn-of-the-century Pullmancoaches, are outfitted with comfortablewingback seats. You’ll feel pamperedas staff lavishes you with attentiveservice. A three-course lunch, followedby coffee, is served at midday. Later, afternoon tea provides refreshment.

Along the way, musicians performtraditional Andean music. Then, enjoy a fashion show of clothing made fromthe wool of the alpaca, the region’sdoe-eyed camelids. You’ll even havethe opportunity to purchase some ofthese goods on the train.

TT HEHE II NCANCA EE MPIREMPIREWhen Francisco Pizarro arrived in Peru in 1532,he found the Inca, an advanced society thatstretched for more than 2,000 miles along thespine of the Andes Mountains. The Inca had built an extensive road system, rope suspensionbridges and elaborate stone buildings erectedwithout mortar. The Inca, weakened by smallpoxbrought by Old World explorers, also wereembroiled in civil war as brothers Atahualpa and Huáscar battled for control of the empire. In 1532, Atahualpa killed his brother, claimingtotal power. Later that year, Pizarro capturedAtahualpa. The Inca leader offered a room filledwith gold, which historians today value at nearly$50 million, for his freedom. Pizarro accepted theransom, but double-crossed Atahualpa and killedhim. With its leader gone, the empire fell andthe Spanish soon dominated the region.
