Internationally acclaimed Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi, known for global hits like Despacito, recently chose Southern Peru as the destination for his holiday. His visit surprised fans as he shared moments from his journey through Arequipa and Puno, including his experience aboard the Andean Explorer, a luxury sleeper train operated by Belmond.

The Andean Explorer connects the cities of Cusco, Puno and Arequipa along one of the highest-altitude railway routes in the world. Fonsi posted photos on social media enjoying the breathtaking Andean landscapes, Peruvian cuisine, and the comfort of the train. In one of his captions, he wrote: “Aventurando un poco por Perú” (“Adventuring a bit through Peru”), while relaxing in one of the train’s elegant carriages.

Recognised as South America’s first luxury sleeper train, the Andean Explorer offers a unique travel experience that blends gourmet dining, stylish interiors, social carriages, and panoramic views of the Peruvian Andes. Fonsi’s presence highlights the train’s appeal as an exclusive option for travellers seeking authentic and memorable experiences.

The train offers one- and two-night itineraries through spectacular landscapes such as Lake Titicaca, the Colca Canyon, and the Sumbay Caves, while connecting three of Southern Peru’s most iconic cities. It’s a journey that combines luxury, culture, and nature in every mile.
