Rail Journeys

There can be no better way to traverse Sri Lanka’s Tea Country than by rail.

Boarding the train in Kandy, you’ll wind through lush green farmlands, tiny local villages and dense forest before plunging into the slopes of the tea plantations. A truly diverse route, the track is flanked by banana fronds, skirts rice terraces and veers across towering viaducts. With saloons dating back as far as the 1930s, the trains themselves are charmingly rustic, and their antique character undoubtedly adds to the authenticity. As you lean out of the window with the wind blowing through your hair, feel a rush of adrenaline and a sense of freedom.

All aboard for a journey where luxury meets the soul-stirring beauty of the Andes.

Step into a world where time slows down, and the scenery takes centre stage. On board the Belmond Andean Explorer, South America's finest luxury sleeper train, you'll glide through the breathtaking Peruvian highlands, past snow-capped peaks and age-old villages. From the mirror-like surface of Lake Titicaca to the dramatic Colca Canyon, each mile reveals a new wonder. As you sip a Pisco Sour and gaze out over the captivating landscapes, you'll realise this isn't just a journey, it's an experience that lingers long after the tracks run out.

Your adventure begins as soon as you step on board the Andean Explorer, where each cabin exudes old-world glamour with modern comforts. Relax in plush lounges, dine on gourmet Peruvian cuisine and unwind in the piano bar as the dramatic landscapes unfold outside your window. Choose from one to three-night journeys starting in Cuzco or Puno, with stops at Arequipa's stunning White City and the ancient Sumbay Caves. The train's outdoor observation deck offers jaw-dropping views, perfect for that once-in-a-lifetime snapshot. Whether you're watching the sunrise over the Andes or stargazing under the clear night sky, every moment is nothing short of inspirational. This is pure magic on the rails.
