Peru
Ten-hour rail journey along the grassy altiplano. The highest point, La Raya pass, is 4321 metres above sea level. An at times bleak but stunning journey that descends along the Vilcanota river to Cuzco. Spoil yourselves and go first class. Memorable train journey among hospitable people.

The 8 hour journey appeared daunting, but travel first class and experience the fashion show, Pisco Sour tastings, traditional entertainment - never mind the food - and the views and the time just flashed by.
