Scania Swede, Suecia

WONDERFUL LUXURY. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. What a difference from the other trains! We had:
Beautiful scenery from our seats, and we were placed next to each other so we both travelled in the right direction.
Fantastic views from the Observatory car.
Entertainment: Peruvian, live music, fashion show by the staff, showing Alpaca woollen clothes.
Great food and service, served at your tables by your sears. In addition you could also order drinks and snacks in the Observatory car.
Lounge while we waited to board the train.
Staff who made sure our luggage was checked in and greeted us when boarding. Made us feel like we were VIPs.”

EXCEPTIONAL. My friend and I purchased these tickets without knowing exactly what to expect. The service was top notch, the 3 course lunch (steaks, breads, soup, wine) with an afternoon tea/ tea cakes and sandwiches were all incredible. There was also a welcome pisco cocktail with snacks, live music, dancing and fashion show in the bar car. The observatory car was also such a fun treat. The 10:30 hours flew by. I never even watched anything on my ipad or read because I was so engrossed with the view and activities. Advice is to dress warmly, the cars are very chilly in the morning but heat up with the sun as the sun progresses. Will recommend this journey to everyone.”

MOST MEMORABLE TRAIN TRIP . PeruRail from Cusco to Puno is one of the most memorable train journeys I’ve done (even when compared to Rocky Mountaineer). It’s 10:30 hrs but you don’t feel the time. The views are just magnificent.
Every seat has a great view so don’t worry about seating.
The service is great and the food is delicious. There are activities (fashion show, musical show, market stop) during the journey to keep you entertained.

The observatory car is excellent for taking photos and if you’re not doing too well with the altitude it’s a good spot to get some fresh air on your face! A must do in Peru!”
