The Andean Explorer will begin most of its journeys in Cusco. Formerly the Inca empire's capital, it's now a major tourist hub and the gateway to the Andes.
The Andean Explorer will traverse one of the highest rail routes on Earth, reaching nearly 16,000 feet in elevation.
There are four different journeys to choose from, all of which focus on cultural landmarks and natural beauty.
The train will visit Colca Canyon, the third-most visited tourist destination in Peru. The canyon is 10,725 feet deep, and surrounded by traditional pre-Inca towns.
It will also traverse Lake Titicaca, the largest lake in South America, which is over 12,000 feet above sea level.
There's also a stop in Arequipo, a major Peruvian city whose historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The train is all luxury, and currently being refurbished. It has two dining cars, with food catered by chefs at a Belmond hotel in Cusco.
The onboard suites look like swanky hotel rooms. There are also single rooms and bunk-bed-style quarters.
The train can accommodate 68 guests, who can enjoy incredible views from the lounge cars. There's even an open-air observation deck.
For the "Spirit of the Andes" one-night journey, prices start at $462 per person, and include meals, lodging, and excursions.
