Peru
Beginning from Puno on the shore of the magical Lake Titicaca, the Orient Express Company's luxurious train works it's way across high Peru to the historical city of Cusco - fine food and wine, an observation car, and a midway stop for local entertainment - magical.
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.
Train station middle of Puno.
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.
