The Best Way to See Peru Is by Luxury Train — How to Plan Your Trip

"From the train I glimpsed the salt terraces of Maras tucked into the hillsides above the Sacred Valley, a striking patchwork of shallow ponds that punctuate the landscape and hint at longstanding, specialized local production. Their presence added a textured, human-made pattern to the valley’s natural beauty." - Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh is a London-based travel journalist and author whose work has appeared in publications like Time and Vanity Fair. She’s written three books, "Around India in 80 Trains," "Around the World in 80 Trains," and "Epic Train Journeys." Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
