Scenic PeruRail train journey through the Andes

You travel on a panoramic train through the valleys of the Andes. Large-windowed carriages show the river bends, farming terraces and snowy peaks from a wide angle. Along the way you see local product sellers and hiking trails at the stations. The journey itself counts as a scenic tour, beyond being transport.

You meet this stop in the daily plan of 6 tours. The physical load is light. The altitude is high, so a light pace is advised on the first day; drinking water and avoiding heavy meals help. Large suitcases may not fit in the carriage, so learn the luggage rule beforehand.
