Andean Explorer, the first luxury night train in South America, was this week chosen in the “CONDÉ NAST TRAVELER 2019 READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS” as the best luxury train in the world in the category of “Top Train 2019”.

Andean Explorer received an almost perfect score of 97/100, which was given by the over 600,000 readers of the prestigious luxury travel magazine, Condé Nast Traveller. The qualification is attributed to the impeccable design, inspired on the magical journey in the South of Peru, one of the highest railway routes in the world, which travels through some of the most spectacular landscapes of the Peruvian Andes. Setting out from the imperial city of Cuzco, to the Titicaca Lake and ending in Arequipa.  An adventure of two or three nights through the ancient kingdoms and natural wonders of the country. 

In the same category we can find the Hiram Bingham, which received fifth place with a score of 91.69 thanks to its 1920’s inspired design and the quality of on-board service, providing passengers with a fantasy journey to Machu Picchu.
