Service Overview
The service
Traditional Andean transit is fraught with congestion and winding switchbacks. We reimagine the journey as a tranquil extension of the sanctuary itself: private carriages, open-air observation decks and a maître d’hôtel at your side.
Charters run on the Belmond Hiram Bingham and Andean Explorer, with a resident sommelier pouring high-elevation Peruvian vintages and live acoustic chamber performances.
