Chimu Adventures' Top 5 train journeys collection has just been released showcasing some of the most awe-inspiring scenery and unique passenger experiences on the planet.

Criss-crossing magnificent scenery through Equador, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina, the train journeys also offer local cuisine, artisan market stops, live music and even an on-board runway show of alpaca wool fashion.

“This is a case of the journey being as thrilling as the destination, “ said Chimu co-founder Greg Carter.

“The great train trips of Latin America are so much more than a way to get from A to B.  They offer an unforgettable mix of iconic sight seeing and cultural immersion.

“We can design the ultimate train-nut trip combining one, two or all five of these great rail adventures.” 

1. Train to the Clouds
Climbing to more than 4000m above sea level from Argentina's Salta Provence to the engineering marvel that is Puna's Polvorilla Viaduct, this famous train comes with a medico-run oxygen carriage to assist passengers experiencing altitude sickness.

2. The Andean Explorer
Cross the Andes from Cusco to Puno in luxury evoking the golden era of Pullman-style rail travel, enjoying fine-dining, an outdoor observation car and live music.

3. Vistadome
Panoramic windows including overhead glass bring nature closer during this classic journey to Aguas Calientes, the jumping off point to see Peru's world-famous Inca citadel of Macchu Picchu.

4. Tren Crucero    
Antique steam locomotives pull two opulently-restored, colonial carriages between Quito and Guayaquil in a 4-day, epic adventure from snow-topped mountains to the coast. Enjoy an open-air terrace, gift shop and bar. 

5. Inca Rail
A modern newcomer to the popular Cusco to Ollanaytambo route, its comfortable seat and table configuration is designed to share views and local food with friends.
