Perurail
| PeruRail is a railway operator working
tourist, freight, and charter services in southern Peru. It was founded in 1999
by Lorenzo Sousa and British company Sea Containers. The main line between the port of Matarani, Arequipa (the capital of this region is Peru's second largest city), Cusco and Puno on Lake Titicaca was formerly known as the Ferrocarril del Sur (Peru Southern Railway), and was for a time owned and operated by the ENAFER state company. It is the third highest railway in the world after the Qinghai–Tibet Railway to Tibet and the FCCA line from Lima to Huancayo. From Cusco, PeruRail provides passenger services on the 3 ft (914 mm) gauge Ferrocarril Santa Ana to Machu Picchu Pueblo, delivering tourists for Machu Picchu. It operates in a 50/50 joint venture between Belmond and Peruvian Trains and Railways, owned by Lorenzo Sousa Debarbieri and son Renzo Sousa. Lorenzo Sousa Debarbieri is the chairman of the board of directors of the company. |
