The Inca had built an extensive road system, rope suspension bridges and elaborate stone buildings erected without mortar. The Inca, weakened by smallpox brought by Old World explorers, also were embroiled in civil war as brothers Atahualpa and Huáscar battled for control of the empire. In 1532, Atahualpa killed his brother, claiming total power. Later that year, Pizarro captured Atahualpa. The Inca leader offered a room filled with gold, which historians today value at nearly $50 million, for his freedom. Pizarro accepted the ransom, but double-crossed Atahualpa and killed him. With its leader gone, the empire fell and the Spanish soon dominated the region. Antonio Executive Puno. Puno, Peru s folkloric capital, is on the northern shore of Lake Titicaca.

11 The Andean Explorer Witness the glorious scenery of the Andes Mountains during a scenic rail journey from Cuzco to Puno aboard the Andean Explorer. This full-day train ride takes you from Cuzco, the ancient Inca capital, to Puno and Lake Titicaca, birthplace of the Inca. Legend has it that the sun god Inti rose out of the lake and created Manco Capac, the first Inca. It is fitting, therefore, that Puno, which sits on the northern shore of Lake Titicaca, is the folkloric capital of Peru. Your journey begins in Cuzco. The train takes you through the Huatanay River valley and the majestic Andes Mountains. Cuzco sits at 11,152 feet above sea level, but the train will take you even higher. The temperature gets noticeably cooler as you ascend to higher altitudes and the Altiplano, the Andean plateau. The train stops at La Raya, at 14,177 feet, the highest point on the route, before descending to Puno and Lake Titicaca at 12,549 feet. The trains, decorated in the elegant style of the turn-of-the-century Pullman coaches, are outfitted with comfortable wingback seats. You ll feel pampered as staff lavishes you with attentive service. A three-course lunch, followed by coffee, is served at midday. Later, afternoon tea provides refreshment. Along the way, musicians perform traditional Andean music. Then, enjoy a fashion show of clothing made from the wool of the alpaca, the region s doe-eyed camelids. You ll even have the opportunity to purchase some of these goods on the train. Top to bottom: Andean Explorer; observation car; dining car; and scenic route of the Andean Explorer
