Peru, like most of South America, is mind-blowingly beautiful. It's full of kind people, incredible scenery, and incomparable experiences. Please go as soon as you can!!
Yes it is. I've been 4 times. You can't take your eyes off it. My friend and I cry every time the plane takes off to go home. It's like PERU is our home.
Yes, Peru is gorgeous, but so is Ecuador, similar but with more roads than Peru. I've been 13 times to Peru and will take this train next May. Machu Picchu can be a life changing experience. I've been 4 times. He says Lake Titicaca is one of his favorite places in the world. It is for me also. These trips will open your eyes to the wonders of our world and make you questions how you are living, what you are doing back home. I ended up retiring to Ecuador, and, 16 years later, have not regretted it. Best wishes, and, yes, you too can do this. JUST DO IT!
Something that just a few people outside Peru know is that there is actually a quite big community of white Peruvians living in Peru, they are mainly in Lima, Arequipa, Piura and Pozuzo, ive met a lot of them, they have European descent from Spain, Italy, England, France, Germany, Poland, etc. I will give you the name of some white Peruvians so you can see it for yourself: Andrés Wiesse, our Nobel Mario Vargas Llosa, Manuel Gold, Sergio Gjurinovic, Claudio Pizarro, Olenka Zimmerman, Juliana Oxenford, etc.
Mis queridos hermanos peruanos, simplemente han desarrollado una experiencia de viaje en tren MARAVILLOSO. Obvio que es para los que lo paguen, pero es ESPECTACULAR, y los felicito por la maravilla que han conseguido. Un abrazo de un chileno que los quiere y aprecia mucho.
Few countries have the beauty and diversity of Peru in the World, as a globetrotter I can say, the culture and history of Peru is fascinating in my opinion the most outstanding country in South America.

Dear Jeb and Suzanne: thank you for making it possible for me to experience every nuance of this incredible rail/scenery/gastronomic journey. Your production values and commentary are absolutely world-class. In my younger, more able-bodied days I was lucky enough to travel much of the world first class, including 17 transatlantic ocean voyages during the golden era. In my 74th year I am now severely disabled with MS and no longer have the opportunity/money to travel as I might wish. Your videos enable me to experience vicariously what would otherwise be impossible. I wish you a lifetime of great traveling and I look forward to being lucky enough to follow you on your many journeys. Godspeed, Peter
Thanks for this comment, I'm 20yrs behind you & it's a reminder not to procrastinate in doing certain things while I can. I can only wish for your best despite MS.
Peter😍 MS is fully curable of course not for big PHARMA because for them cured patien would be lost client so they mislead people to keep them sick and make people suffer and spend lots of $$$$$ !!! Just watch Dr Eric Berg channel on YT and do what he recommends.That really works! I wish you lots of health and blessings for everyday. 🐞🐘🍀🌺💖🌞Kind regards. Liz
I did the day train trip from Puno to Cusco a few years ago, it was an absolutely enchanting day. The service & food was incredible, and I have never seen better views anywhere in the world. The weird thing was the negative reviews online - people complaining that the train was slow, that the seats were armchairs bolted to the floor rather than "proper" train seats, even complaining about the entertainment put on by the crew - I guess there is no pleasing some people!
Corrections...No pleasing Americans! People...trains are always slow. When was the last time you road Amtrak! 🤣I ride the train because it is slow and gives me time the rest and relax!
@@anthonygunter4064 I'm guessing it's not American complaining. It's most likely from the high speed train countries. There's a certain country who always complained about the speed of everything
I work in a kindergarten classroom and one year we had this little fella in our class who was from Peru....his name was Sammy and he was one of the happiest, most jovial kids I've ever met. Must have something to do with the high altitudes...whatever it is, he was a great ambassador for the Peruvian people ! ...miss that kid !

Peru is the most beautiful country in the world! I'm from Spain and I also visited the country in 2018! the landscapes are wonderful, the culture, the food, its diversity, the kindest people I have met in my life. It absolutely must be on your wish list.
@@TheresaPowers Nope, Peru is extremely diverse! more than 65% of the territory is only Amazon jungle, it is the third country in the world with more tropical areas only after Brazil and Indonesia! The landscapes of the video are from the Peruvian Andes that represent 28% of the total of the country and it is also beautiful!
compared to Spain it is...Spain besides architecture, in my opinion its "glorious" cathedrals does nothing for me...not that I am impressed by them because they were built on the blood of those countries they burned and plundered eg.south american continent + ++++
completely agree! Im from Italy and on my trip to South America Peru is my favorite countr!, its landscapes are from another world, the rainbow mountains, the snow-capped mountains, Machu Picchu and the enormous jungle a wonder country.
Me gustaría saber del tren. Pero esta traducido en inglés. Yo soy de México y se habla el español. Que lastima que estas. Personas. siempre se equivocan . Siempre lo mismo.
¡LOVE PERU! my trip through South America Peru took my heart, it's landscapes, its biodiversity, its people, its food, its wonders. It's a wonderful country.

It is good to spend money at local markets like the one at the whistle-stop at 10:00. Most people in rural Peru may look quaint and be friendly but they are not even middle-class. If you can afford the flight to Peru and even this train, you can afford to spend money on the products of the local people, ultimately they make up most of Peru.

Peru is my dream country of a lifetime! In my opinion, it is the most beautiful country in Latin America. It has everything! biodiversity, food, culture, ruins, world wonders, the most beautiful landscapes and the friendliest people.
Looks like we have the same dream. Why don’t you find out the fare and lets go together as long as you dont smoke , drink and are vegetarian at least. We will be a match made in heaven. What do you say??
My gf is from Pucallpa (peruvian jungle) Peru is the most beautiful country in the Americas! The food is on another level and its landscapes! just look at Machu Picchu or the rainbow mountain, a trip through the Peruvian jungle is paradise.
PERU definitely has the best landscapes in South America! I know all of South America and it is a reality, wonders like Machu Picchu do not exist anywhere else, food omg Peruvian food! it is an addiction I LOVE PERU the best place!
@@ZoonCrypticon umm Bolivia doesn't have the coast and oases in the deserts of Peru, visiting Peru is like going to Egypt the pyramids in Caral are from another world. Peru is Fantastic!

The world is large and full of endless beautiful experiences. Unfortunately, we can't all visit everywhere! I'm grateful for RUclips. An ingenious opportunity to travel round the world while seated.
This was recommended to me - no idea why - but it was stunning. I travelled, in my youth, to Peru and remember watching a group of lads playing football (Soccer) near Lake Titicaca, while I had slowed down my walk because I was feeling breathless. Peruvians are superhuman, as well as being super humans! It is a truly wonderful country and this, though brief, did it justice. Cheers!
This was my first time seeing your wife so involved and might I say I enjoyed her energy in the video. This video makes me want to hop on a flight to Peru and take this train, thats all I would do and I could come home happy. This journey looked beyond breathtaking.
@@jobynamcgee8563 cocaine is, coca leaves are used for thousands of years by the people's of the Andes, perhaps a bit of wikipedia will shed so more light.
South America is a beautiful continent in a way that a person in south india can’t imagine. Train journey at such high altitude is unusual. The scenes are so serene and pristine. Quit a few lakes at such high altitude. The quality of photography has done justice to the place. You are fortunate for having made this journey. Many thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Jeb, I really appreciated hearing you say that the way we live in America is just one of the many ways people call this world home... what an amazing lesson. Helps us truly appreciate the diversity of this amazing place we all call home. Thank you for sharing.
This was one of my favorite videos of yours. Thank you! Absolutely beautiful. I think the Peruvians are some of the most accommodating and kind people of our world.

Switzerland is small enough to not need an overnight train, but there is the Glacier Express train ride that is an 8 hour ride focused on tourism with 3 course meals and panoramic windows to enjoy the views of the alps.
I loveeee Peru! It is such a diverse country, it is the fifth most biodiverse country in the world. I just saw videos of the Peruvian Andes. Machu Picchu is wonderful and then I see a video of the only boiling river in the world located in the huge Peruvian jungle, now this desert!! Peru is fascinating! An important fact is that Peru is the 4th country with the most tropical areas in the world, only behind Brazil, Indonesia and Congo. The country is 65% jungle.
Thanks for that info, L. Peru wasn't on my bucket list of places to go before watching this trip. Now it most certainly is! Your few lines just reinforces that.
yep looks amazing and with the good weather quite the view. At 2000+ a day i would hope it would be that luxurious and worth it and it does look like a great trip.
Holy cow, that's the nicest train I've never seen before. And the scenery is incredible. Thanks for sharing this with us. I was truly moved. I don't normally like luxury, but I have to admit that train is homey and compliments the scenery outside to a T. What an adventure.
I drove through Peru in March 2018, around these same areas along the train route. The terrain and scenery is unbelievable. I'd love to ride this train. Thanks for the video.
I'm from Brazil, but have been to Peru a lot. Peruvians are lovely and you will feel welcome every time. Plus the currency , comparing to Dollars will make your trip much more affordable.
It's very surprising that more people don't feature this train, it's a great way to see Peru . And as for standards south america dosnt do it like the USA they do it better;
I never imagined a travel in the train in Peru could be this rich and mind blowing. I didn't expect this from PERU. Jeb Brooks, you are synonym to world class travel.

Perú is really awesome, the Andes magic, Arequipa is beautiful with the Misti front the city is "imponente" "y pocos tienen la suerte de nacer en una ciudad con tres volcanes" VIVA EL PERU!
I have been visiting Prru about 25 times, I have taking a lot of my American friends, they have fall in love with the cities, landscaping and all the historical places', specially Machu Pichu, Arequipa, Cajamarca znd so many other important places. Love it, my friends are crazy about Peru, many of them have visited Peru more than 3 times.
I worked in the Travel Industry for a huge agency and we had incredible travel benefits which allowed us to travel all over the world. I never went to Peru and after watching your video I wish I had. What a beautiful place and that train just made it that much better. Great video.
On my list too 😊 Planning retirement in Ecuador in a few years, and a Peru trip (or 2)is definitely on my list. A train trip like this is just an absolute must. Thanks so much for sharing!
Now I know why my daughter and son-in-law chose Peru as their destination for their honeymoon a few years ago. Truly spectacular scenery and I am going to look into booking a trip on this incredible train journey for my bride and myself as well Jeb. Thank You so much for sharing your journey!
I have been all over the world.Peru is the trip I think about all the time.It was truly magical. The beauty is never-ending. This brings me back to it!!So awesome 🥰
Peru is the most beautiful country in South America! I visited the country in 2017 and it is fascinating! It has the best landscapes in the world and the food is first class, I would always return to Peru.
@@LEOGUARNIERI Ok, I m Italian and there is no other country with the history of Peru in all of South America! That country is the most diverse and with the most fascinating history.
@@LEOGUARNIERI I respect the diversity of opinions! There is no country with the history of Peru in South America! Caral on the Peruvian coast is the cradle of civilization throughout the American continent, it is on a par with EGYPT, Sumeria, it is considered the cradle of world civilization, not only Peru or South America, the entire WORLD, about diversity, I recommend you read the climates of Peru, it is the country with the most types of climates in the world, did you know that the Amazon is born in Peru? Peru is the mother of the Amazon, if it weren't for the Peruvian lands, the river would not exist! Peru not only has world wonders or the most recognized food in South America, it is a country with the greatest history of the continent, not recognizing that, it is already a matter of each person.
And I would say the whole experience is beautifully executed. (Except the possible panic of missing train in day 2 😆They should have told the passenger about it) I always want to travel to places like this, but the low oxygen level will cause me headache. I'm really sensitive to low oxygen level.
I would hope so for what is probably 5000+ USD😆Im not sure of the price as it was fully booked, but the two bed room was 3500 in november. Still though, must be an amazing experience
What a magical trip, I would really love to go on this train, I love train travel. I’m flabbergasted by the amenities and the fact that it is all inclusive with meals and drinks. The day trips are really a great feature, more like a cruise ship than a train. I’m sure you will have memories to keep forever. The food looked so good and appetizing. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.

After watching you two together I've come to a conclusion. This journey we call life is even better when shared with the one you love. You're giving me ideas where to take my soon to be wife so I better start saving. Cheers 🥂
This is the first time I recall seeing your wife in a video except for a fleeting glance. She’s a natural, not wooden or shy. You need to include her more often. This was certainly a trip worth reporting about, and one most of us will never have the opportunity to take. Thanks for sharing.
"Never trust a hike that goes downhill first" - Suzanne. I made the same mistakes at the grand canyon. It's so easy going down until you turn around and realize what's ahead.
I once was a part of a video production team in the 1980s documenting rock strata for a geologist. We had to haul a LOT of equipment (plus water & Gatorade) from the North Rim down to the base of the GC. We killed ourselves hauling it back up! I couldn’t walk normal for THREE days after. My knees kept locking up on me!!
@@weeniswtbh the only real problem is short-haul flights (under 800km) long-haul flights aren’t as easily replaceable without increasing the journey time 50-fold
I have been on the Andean Explorer in 2012 and the journey to Puno was awesome! They served Chicha Morada and Pisco Sour. It was an amazing experience with the train chugging slowly through the mountains, reaching the highest point of 4050 mtrs (can't remember exactly the number) in La Raya, the mesmerising Peruvian Altiplano, seeing the tuk tuks in Juliaca and finally, the breathtaking view of Lake Titicaca before it grew dark. Long story made short....overall a 10/10! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
I will never forget Lake Titicaca. Had the awesome experience checking out the Uros Islands with their spongy reefs and going to Tequile Island where I spent the night with a local family and learning a couple sentences in Quechua. A late night thunderstorm turned into an unmistakable beautiful dawn. Ten years since I've been there and the fact I can remember the details explains how great Puno and Lake Titicaca are.
Peru is the most outstanding country in South America, the culture, the food, the landscapes are unique in the world! It should be at the top of your wish list.
That train is exquisite class. For me it's the ideal combination of modernity and inviting warmth. The leather in the room chairs is buttery; the very highest quality. Even the cushions bespeak extra care and quality in their construction. The food looked superbly prepared with the finest ingredients by master chefs. Honestly, I don't believe anybody in the world could do it better. I made that trip (only backwards heading to Cusco) nearly 50 years ago but we were just backpacker kids. I now live in Peru's neighbor Colombia so maybe...one of these days.
As a Peruvian, I'm glad you were able to explore the country and see more than just Machu Picchu! (Don't get me wrong, still a must-see, but always good to explore the rest of the country too!) And of course your food was the best, since Peruvian cuisine is the best in the world ;)
Don't mind..I am an Indian saying this. We have read a lot about peruvian and Latam civilisation Like Mayas bring destroyed by Europeans and missionaries. Sad to see entire Latam converted and forgotten their roots. In India we too faced islamic invaders..we stood our ground...lost a few men to conversion but not in entirety.
@@kishoremali5547 Its not the same. Peru is born from the mixture of European and native culture. Like France is the mixture of Gauls, Romans and Germanic tribes, for example. While the sentiment is appreciated the Incas converted very quickly, 1 generation later most of the nobility was staunchly catholic. It seems the native religion was very similar in many ways so it made it easy to adapt.
@@kishoremali5547 You still have a lot to read and discover. I tell you in advance that many of the cultures, like the Mayans, are grateful for the European invasion. You have no idea how the Incas mistreated their people very badly. e_e Have a good day! :)
Wow, now this is awesome!! Makes Amtrak look like a Greyhound Bus! Peru is such a beautiful country, enjoy! 🎉🎉🎉 wow oh wow! It’s nice to see nice people get an upgrade, just love it 😍 congratulations!
I've never seen your channel before but this was great. I visited Peru in 2009 (didn't use this train at all, though) and it always has a special place for me because the scenery is so utterly beautiful, the people lovely and the food is delicious. It's a country of wild environmental extremes from desert, to mountain, to tundra to jungle. Lima and Cusco are pretty much the only places outside of England where I've thought I could see myself living there.
Peru is definitely the country that offers the most in South America, Biodiversity in the country is huge, we all love the Peruvian Andes that are wonderful, just look at Machu Picchu!!! but the country is 65% tropical jungle, being the most tropical Hispanic country in the world, just look at the boiling river, it is something unique never seen and exists in Peru a beautiful country in my opinion the most beautiful in South America.
You lucky lucky people. What a stunning journey. The train is outstanding. The food looks amazing. I can't believe just how beautiful Peru is. All round it looks like the perfect journey to experience. Sometimes the grass really is greener. Thanks for this wonderful video. I'm disabled so could never travel like you two do so it's wonderful to be able to sit and watch these stunning journeys. Keep traveling as much as you can afford to do. You never know what the future holds. Get out there while your fit and healthy and soak up as much of our beautiful world as you can. X 😊
I like how you show your travels without actually compromising the privacy of other passengers. I don't like whenever I pay for first class travels while I'm in someone's else's videos.
I just discovered your channel, with this fabulous video. My trip to Peru was in 1987, to LIMA, CUSCO/MACHU PICHU, PUNO and AREQUIPA. Since we flew to each of these cities, I didn't see, except to Machu Pichu there/ back, the incredible landscape that one can see via train ride that you took. My partner got violently ill from the high elevation in Puno, unfortunately, but I didn't, thanks to all the MATEA de COCA that was served/ available in all the hotel rooms we stayed at, and even on AIR PERU. I bought a large hand embroidered art work on an island in Lake Titicaca that I still have framed behind glass, made from alpaca wool. And at our Swiss owned hotel in Puno, had a boutique that sold stunning alpaca wool knitwear. I am 78 years old now, and I still have 3 of the 5 hand knitted sweaters that I bought way back in 1987.
Lived in Arequipa for nearly 7 months. Some memorable times occurred and it’s a blessing they’ll never be forgotten. Look forward to going back to learning even more new customs in Cuidad Blanca. 🙏🏾
I spent 3 months in the northern half of Peru many years ago. The country is so diverse with mountains, desert, ocean, culture, I could go on. I was able to visit remote towns that have never seen a blonde white "gringo" before so I was often treated like a rock star. I admit, it was scary at times but for the most part, people were very welcoming and friendly. Thank you for such a beautiful video of highlighting a country that has such fond memories for me.
We've traveled extensively throughout our lives but only took a train trip across Ireland which was beautiful. Unfortunately my husband can't travel anymore, but if I'm alone one day I would love to grab a Grandkid or two at a time and explore some train destinations. I really enjoy your videos to see what it's like. So inviting.

My late husband and I went in 2005. The most remarkable country snd the people, especially out of the capital areas, were just wonderful. Perhaps not quite in the luxury you did but I still have the most marvellous memories of exquisite, stunning scenery. Thank you for reminding me of a wonderful time. I do remember altitude! 😃😃😃😃.

The train left because it had to turn around towards Arequipa in a nearby station close to Juliaca, since it is very long it has to use a Y junction for that movement, that’s why it disappeared for a couple of hours. Peru has lovely trains indeed and as a railfan I had the opportunity to travel in some of them. Greetings from Bolivia, hope you guys visit us soon!!
When/if you go there, you won’t regret it! There’s so much history there, especially about the Incas. There’re also a lot of museums and restaurants with delicious food

Me too
go Sandy go!
Peru, like most of South America, is mind-blowingly beautiful. It's full of kind people, incredible scenery, and incomparable experiences. Please go as soon as you can!!
I am absolutely speechless. I had no idea Peru was this off the charts gorgeous. Wow.
Yes it is. I've been 4 times. You can't take your eyes off it. My friend and I cry every time the plane takes off to go home. It's like PERU is our home.
@@southfolkelectionpredictions oh no! 😐 But it's so beautiful it's possibly worth it. 🤭
Yes, Peru is gorgeous, but so is Ecuador, similar but with more roads than Peru. I've been 13 times to Peru and will take this train next May. Machu Picchu can be a life changing experience. I've been 4 times. He says Lake Titicaca is one of his favorite places in the world. It is for me also. These trips will open your eyes to the wonders of our world and make you questions how you are living, what you are doing back home. I ended up retiring to Ecuador, and, 16 years later, have not regretted it. Best wishes, and, yes, you too can do this. JUST DO IT!

Dear Jeb and Suzanne: thank you for making it possible for me to experience every nuance of this incredible rail/scenery/gastronomic journey. Your production values and commentary are absolutely world-class. In my younger, more able-bodied days I was lucky enough to travel much of the world first class, including 17 transatlantic ocean voyages during the golden era. In my 74th year I am now severely disabled with MS and no longer have the opportunity/money to travel as I might wish. Your videos enable me to experience vicariously what would otherwise be impossible. I wish you a lifetime of great traveling and I look forward to being lucky enough to follow you on your many journeys. Godspeed, Peter
Thanks for this comment, I'm 20yrs behind you & it's a reminder not to procrastinate in doing certain things while I can. I can only wish for your best despite MS.
Peter😍 MS is fully curable of course not for big PHARMA because for them cured patien would be lost client so they mislead people to keep them sick and make people suffer and spend lots of $$$$$ !!! Just watch Dr Eric Berg channel on YT and do what he recommends.That really works! I wish you lots of health and blessings for everyday.
🐞🐘🍀🌺💖🌞Kind regards. Liz
I did the day train trip from Puno to Cusco a few years ago, it was an absolutely enchanting day. The service & food was incredible, and I have never seen better views anywhere in the world. The weird thing was the negative reviews online - people complaining that the train was slow, that the seats were armchairs bolted to the floor rather than "proper" train seats, even complaining about the entertainment put on by the crew - I guess there is no pleasing some people!
Corrections...No pleasing Americans! People...trains are always slow. When was the last time you road Amtrak! 🤣I ride the train because it is slow and gives me time the rest and relax!
@@anthonygunter4064 I'm guessing it's not American complaining. It's most likely from the high speed train countries. There's a certain country who always complained about the speed of everything
Very interesting noticed
I work in a kindergarten classroom and one year we had this little fella in our class who was from Peru....his name was Sammy and he was one of the happiest, most jovial kids I've ever met. Must have something to do with the high altitudes...whatever it is, he was a great ambassador for the Peruvian people ! ...miss that kid !
De donde eres?
Peruvian people are usually happy people 🙂
@@meczm yes they all have smiles on their faces. Even the murderers in that country seemed to be just the happiest people on earth
The Peruvian people are wonderful embracing people. I was there in 2017 and am still in contact with some of the people I met there.
@@donaldvonglitchenberger4108 there are murders everywhere....not just in Peru
I'm from New Zealand and it's a beautiful country but Peru takes my breath away. One day.

Peru is the most beautiful country in the world!
I'm from Spain and I also visited the country in 2018! the landscapes are wonderful, the culture, the food, its diversity, the kindest people I have met in my life.
It absolutely must be on your wish list.
I thought it looked dry and bleak. I would never want to live there.
@@TheresaPowers Nope, Peru is extremely diverse! more than 65% of the territory is only Amazon jungle, it is the third country in the world with more tropical areas only after Brazil and Indonesia! The landscapes of the video are from the Peruvian Andes that represent 28% of the total of the country and it is also beautiful!
Gracias Paolo ...
Saludos de una peruana que aprecia tu cariño
compared to Spain it is...Spain besides architecture, in my opinion its "glorious" cathedrals does nothing for me...not that I am impressed by them because they were built on the blood of those countries they burned and plundered eg.south american continent + ++++
I never been in Perú but I know is the kindness and good heart of Perú inhabitants. Andines are simple, human beings
Most beautiful country in South America! In my opinion Peru's has the most incredible landscapes, the most authentic food and culture.
completely agree! Im from Italy and on my trip to South America Peru is my favorite countr!, its landscapes are from another world, the rainbow mountains, the snow-capped mountains, Machu Picchu and the enormous jungle a wonder country.
agree! Peru is the most biodiverse country I have ever seen! its deserts, its coasts, its Andes and its enormous jungle a wonderful country!

It's a wonderful country.
Something that just a few people outside Peru know is that there is actually a quite big community of white Peruvians living in Peru, they are mainly in Lima, Arequipa, Piura and Pozuzo, ive met a lot of them, they have European descent from Spain, Italy, England, France, Germany, Poland, etc. I will give you the name of some white Peruvians so you can see it for yourself: Andrés Wiesse, our Nobel Mario Vargas Llosa, Manuel Gold, Sergio Gjurinovic, Claudio Pizarro, Olenka Zimmerman, Juliana Oxenford, etc.
We loved Peru. People were friendly and so kind. Amazed by the wondrous diverse geography of Peru.
who is "we" ? some random ppl ?
It is good to spend money at local markets like the one at the whistle-stop at 10:00. Most people in rural Peru may look quaint and be friendly but they are not even middle-class. If you can afford the flight to Peru and even this train, you can afford to spend money on the products of the local people, ultimately they make up most of Peru.

Peru is my dream country of a lifetime! In my opinion, it is the most beautiful country in Latin America. It has everything! biodiversity, food, culture, ruins, world wonders, the most beautiful landscapes and the friendliest people.
Looks like we have the same dream. Why don’t you find out the fare and lets go together as long as you dont smoke , drink and are vegetarian at least. We will be a match made in heaven. What do you say??

I would not totally agree. Bolivia is a bit better in my opinion.
absolutely! Peru was the most amazing country in South America, the views and diversity the best in the region.

This was recommended to me - no idea why - but it was stunning.
I travelled, in my youth, to Peru and remember watching a group of lads playing football (Soccer) near Lake Titicaca, while I had slowed down my walk because I was feeling breathless.
Peruvians are superhuman, as well as being super humans!
It is a truly wonderful country and this, though brief, did it justice. Cheers!
This was my first time seeing your wife so involved and might I say I enjoyed her energy in the video. This video makes me want to hop on a flight to Peru and take this train, thats all I would do and I could come home happy. This journey looked beyond breathtaking.
Definitely booking a flight to Peru. Good option for altitude sickness is chew on coca leaves!

South America is a beautiful continent in a way that a person in south india can’t imagine. Train journey at such high altitude is unusual. The scenes are so serene and pristine. Quit a few lakes at such high altitude. The quality of photography has done justice to the place. You are fortunate for having made this journey. Many thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Absolutely stunning. The train, mountains, fields... every frame deserved it's own chapter. This is how I imagine a heaven looks like
Yes. My wife is from Lima and I love Peru!
I love Peru. I’ve been 6 times. This awesome tourist train is on my bucket list now. Thanks for sharing
Jeb, I really appreciated hearing you say that the way we live in America is just one of the many ways people call this world home... what an amazing lesson. Helps us truly appreciate the diversity of this amazing place we all call home. Thank you for sharing.
This was one of my favorite videos of yours. Thank you! Absolutely beautiful. I think the Peruvians are some of the most accommodating and kind people of our world.
Perú es mágico!!!! Vale la pena visitarlo. Su gente es encantadora.
Peru is fascinating! The country of wonders, Machu Picchu is from another world, Peru is my favorite country in Latin America.
Machu Picchu isn't the real name, but someone messed up the name 100 years ago. Huayna Picchu may be more accurate.

This is making me feel so homesick but happy that everyone gets to experience the beauty of my country.
“Just remember to pack your patience” … I love this so much
Switzerland has stunning views but no one had that same idea of first class train cruise. Peru is beautiful of its own.
I got a trip train, ordinary train, from Italy trough Switzerland Alpes. Delightful scenaries never forgotten after so many years ago. 🏡🌅🥦
Switzerland is small enough to not need an overnight train, but there is the Glacier Express train ride that is an 8 hour ride focused on tourism with 3 course meals and panoramic windows to enjoy the views of the alps.
That train echoed the saying "It's not about the destination...it's about the journey".
I loveeee Peru! It is such a diverse country, it is the fifth most biodiverse country in the world. I just saw videos of the Peruvian Andes. Machu Picchu is wonderful and then I see a video of the only boiling river in the world located in the huge Peruvian jungle, now this desert!!
Peru is fascinating! An important fact is that Peru is the 4th country with the most tropical areas in the world, only behind Brazil, Indonesia and Congo. The country is 65% jungle.
Thanks for that info, L. Peru wasn't on my bucket list of places to go before watching this trip. Now it most certainly is! Your few lines just reinforces that.
What a beautiful luxurious train! Wow
yep looks amazing and with the good weather quite the view. At 2000+ a day i would hope it would be that luxurious and worth it and it does look like a great trip.
Holy cow, that's the nicest train I've never seen before. And the scenery is incredible. Thanks for sharing this with us. I was truly moved. I don't normally like luxury, but I have to admit that train is homey and compliments the scenery outside to a T. What an adventure.

Very nice to see that high standard train service in Peru and surrounded by astonishing nature. Saludos a Perú.
It's nice to see the Belmont company maintaining their very high standards set in Europe with the Venice Simplon train which is jaw dropping gorgeous.
It's very surprising that more people don't feature this train, it's a great way to see Peru . And as for standards south america dosnt do it like the USA they do it better;

I have been visiting Prru about 25 times, I have taking a lot of my American friends, they have fall in love with the cities, landscaping and all the historical places', specially Machu Pichu, Arequipa, Cajamarca znd so many other important places. Love it, my friends are crazy about Peru, many of them have visited Peru more than 3 times.
I worked in the Travel Industry for a huge agency and we had incredible travel benefits which allowed us to travel all over the world. I never went to Peru and after watching your video I wish I had. What a beautiful place and that train just made it that much better. Great video.
Now on my bucket list. I LOVE Peru, its landscapes and cuisine. I have been there more than 20 times on business and this vacation would be *****
On my list too 😊
Planning retirement in Ecuador in a few years, and a Peru trip (or 2)is definitely on my list. A train trip like this is just an absolute must.

Caral on the Peruvian coast is the cradle of civilization throughout the American continent, it is on a par with EGYPT, Sumeria, it is considered the cradle of world civilization, not only Peru or South America, the entire WORLD, about diversity, I recommend you read the climates of Peru, it is the country with the most types of climates in the world, did you know that the Amazon is born in Peru? Peru is the mother of the Amazon, if it weren't for the Peruvian lands, the river would not exist!
Peru not only has world wonders or the most recognized food in South America, it is a country with the greatest history of the continent, not recognizing that, it is already a matter of each person.
My uncle is 91 and I'm not sure he'll get an opportunity to explore this in person, but your video brought him very close.
Wish amtrack had such GLAMOUROUS accomodations. Look at those suits!! Heaven on rails.
This first class cabin really give us the feeling of "first class", unlike lots of other first class products on other trains.
And I would say the whole experience is beautifully executed. (Except the possible panic of missing train in day 2 😆They should have told the passenger about it)

Peru is stunning, and not somewhere I'd ever thought to visit..well, that's changed!
This is the first time I recall seeing your wife in a video except for a fleeting glance. She’s a natural, not wooden or shy. You need to include her more often. This was certainly a trip worth reporting about, and one most of us will never have the opportunity to take. Thanks for sharing.
I love that pride. I just want to be on that train.
Yeah Jeb, good on you for not marrying a wooden person.
"Never trust a hike that goes downhill first" - Suzanne. I made the same mistakes at the grand canyon. It's so easy going down until you turn around and realize what's ahead.
Me too. 90 minutes to the GC oasis which is a half mile down and 3 hour struggle to make it back to the rim.
@@leochen887 I hiked the Grand Canyon once, I used to work on the South Rim. Put the hard to the side and enjoy the views, and it will be much easier!
I once was a part of a video production team in the 1980s documenting rock strata for a geologist. We had to haul a LOT of equipment (plus water & Gatorade) from the North Rim down to the base of the GC. We killed ourselves hauling it back up! I couldn’t walk normal for THREE days after. My knees kept locking up on me!!
It's like a cruise but on land! Brilliant idea. And what a gorgeous country!
I wouldn’t take a cruise because they’re horribly polluting but this train is a different story. Flying to get there and back is still an issue though
@@weeniswtbh the only real problem is short-haul flights (under 800km) long-haul flights aren’t as easily replaceable without increasing the journey time 50-fold
Machu Picchu is still a "must" on my bucket list but now I have to budget for this. Amazing!
I have been on the Andean Explorer in 2012 and the journey to Puno was awesome! They served Chicha Morada and Pisco Sour. It was an amazing experience with the train chugging slowly through the mountains, reaching the highest point of 4050 mtrs (can't remember exactly the number) in La Raya, the mesmerising Peruvian Altiplano, seeing the tuk tuks in Juliaca and finally, the breathtaking view of Lake Titicaca before it grew dark. Long story made short....overall a 10/10! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
how about food onboard for Indians.
What a beautiful country. I could literally spend years at every curves of that creek!!
The only thing I could see "wrong with" that trip is that it wasn't longer! What a joy this was to watch :)
I always love those countries like Peru. I wish someday I'll go there
I bet this must be the most underrated tourist destinations and railways.
Seems to be one of the Best railways.👍❤❤❤👍👍👍
I will never forget Lake Titicaca. Had the awesome experience checking out the Uros Islands with their spongy reefs and going to Tequile Island where I spent the night with a local family and learning a couple sentences in Quechua. A late night thunderstorm turned into an unmistakable beautiful dawn. Ten years since I've been there and the fact I can remember the details explains how great Puno and Lake Titicaca are.
Peru is the most outstanding country in South America, the culture, the food, the landscapes are unique in the world! It should be at the top of your wish list.
That train is exquisite class. For me it's the ideal combination of modernity and inviting warmth. The leather in the room chairs is buttery; the very highest quality. Even the cushions bespeak extra care and quality in their construction. The food looked superbly prepared with the finest ingredients by master chefs. Honestly, I don't believe anybody in the world could do it better. I made that trip (only backwards heading to Cusco) nearly 50 years ago but we were just backpacker kids. I now live in Peru's neighbor Colombia so maybe...one of these days.
I think by far that this is the best sleeper train I've ever seen. They know how accommodate.
As a Peruvian, I'm glad you were able to explore the country and see more than just Machu Picchu! (Don't get me wrong, still a must-see, but always good to explore the rest of the country too!) And of course your food was the best, since Peruvian cuisine is the best in the world ;)
Don't mind..I am an Indian saying this.
We have read a lot about peruvian and Latam civilisation Like Mayas bring destroyed by Europeans and missionaries.
Sad to see entire Latam converted and forgotten their roots.
In India we too faced islamic invaders..we stood our ground...lost a few men to conversion but not in entirety.

Its not the same. Peru is born from the mixture of European and native culture. Like France is the mixture of Gauls, Romans and Germanic tribes, for example.
While the sentiment is appreciated the Incas converted very quickly, 1 generation later most of the nobility was staunchly catholic.
It seems the native religion was very similar in many ways so it made it easy to adapt.
@@kishoremali5547 You still have a lot to read and discover.
I tell you in advance that many of the cultures, like the Mayans, are grateful for the European invasion. You have no idea how the Incas mistreated their people very badly. e_e

I've never seen your channel before but this was great. I visited Peru in 2009 (didn't use this train at all, though) and it always has a special place for me because the scenery is so utterly beautiful, the people lovely and the food is delicious. It's a country of wild environmental extremes from desert, to mountain, to tundra to jungle. Lima and Cusco are pretty much the only places outside of England where I've thought I could see myself living there.
Peru is definitely the country that offers the most in South America,
Biodiversity in the country is huge, we all love the Peruvian Andes that are wonderful, just look at Machu Picchu!!! but the country is 65% tropical jungle, being the most tropical Hispanic country in the world, just look at the boiling river, it is something unique never seen and exists in Peru a beautiful country in my opinion the most beautiful in South America.
You lucky lucky people. What a stunning journey. The train is outstanding. The food looks amazing. I can't believe just how beautiful Peru is. All round it looks like the perfect journey to experience. Sometimes the grass really is greener. Thanks for this wonderful video. I'm disabled so could never travel like you two do so it's wonderful to be able to sit and watch these stunning journeys. Keep traveling as much as you can afford to do. You never know what the future holds. Get out there while your fit and healthy and soak up as much of our beautiful world as you can. X 😊

Oh my! That's gone right to the top of my bucket list! What a stunning trip - that scenery, the train, the quality - everything - what an experience!
I like how you show your travels without actually compromising the privacy of other passengers. I don't like whenever I pay for first class travels while I'm in someone's else's videos.
I just discovered your channel, with this fabulous video. My trip to Peru was in 1987, to LIMA, CUSCO/MACHU PICHU, PUNO and AREQUIPA. Since we flew to each of these cities, I didn't see, except to Machu Pichu there/ back, the incredible landscape that one can see via train ride that you took.
My partner got violently ill from the high elevation in Puno, unfortunately, but I didn't, thanks to all the MATEA de COCA that was served/ available in all the hotel rooms we stayed at, and even on AIR PERU.
I bought a large hand embroidered art work on an island in Lake Titicaca that I still have framed behind glass, made from alpaca wool. And at our Swiss owned hotel in Puno, had a boutique that sold stunning alpaca wool knitwear. I am 78 years old now, and I still have 3 of the 5 hand knitted sweaters that I bought way back in 1987.
Lived in Arequipa for nearly 7 months. Some memorable times occurred and it’s a blessing they’ll never be forgotten. Look forward to going back to learning even more new customs in Cuidad Blanca. 🙏🏾
I spent 3 months in the northern half of Peru many years ago. The country is so diverse with mountains, desert, ocean, culture, I could go on. I was able to visit remote towns that have never seen a blonde white "gringo" before so I was often treated like a rock star. I admit, it was scary at times but for the most part, people were very welcoming and friendly. Thank you for such a beautiful video of highlighting a country that has such fond memories for me.
In my opinion, Peru is the most beautiful country in South America (the food is the best)
I think they thought you were Jesus😂

We've traveled extensively throughout our lives but only took a train trip across Ireland which was beautiful. Unfortunately my husband can't travel anymore, but if I'm alone one day I would love to grab a Grandkid or two at a time and explore some train destinations. I really enjoy your videos to see what it's like. So inviting.
Aquí te espero cariño 🙊😁
Wow! ❤Psalm 115: 16 As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah, But the earth he has given to the sons of men. ❤ Psalm 37:34 Hope in Jehovah and follow his way, And he will exalt you to take possession of the earth.When the wicked are done away with, you will see it.
My late husband and I went in 2005. The most remarkable country snd the people, especially out of the capital areas, were just wonderful. Perhaps not quite in the luxury you did but I still have the most marvellous memories of exquisite, stunning scenery. Thank you for reminding me of a wonderful time. I do remember altitude! 😃😃😃😃. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺

The train left because it had to turn around towards Arequipa in a nearby station close to Juliaca, since it is very long it has to use a Y junction for that movement, that’s why it disappeared for a couple of hours. Peru has lovely trains indeed and as a railfan I had the opportunity to travel in some of them. Greetings from Bolivia, hope you guys visit us soon!!

Your english is impeccable.
Where did you learn it.???
I've always dreamed to visit Peru, and I love this kind of train so now I need to add this journey to my list of things to do someday!
When/if you go there, you won’t regret it! There’s so much history there, especially about the Incas. There’re also a lot of museums and restaurants with delicious food
And you’d love the food!!!
After years of "bucket list" I finally booked my ticket in a sleeper room on the Coast Starlight. Now I want to ride every long haul passenger train that exists. Thanks for sharing your joy.
My favorite train excursion I have ever watched on here! If I ever take a vacation train trip (except to visit my sister) this is the one I want! 🥳👍
An amazing trip and the production quality is top-notch!!! Peru is a gem to be experienced and cherished.
A beautiful country. Wonderful Andrean Explorer tour. A heaven's paradise. Must see place in ones' life time
