While sipping the welcome drink guests mingle, meeting other passengers while conversing to the sounds of Andean pipes filling the air and folkloric dancers swirling and twirling in a kaleidoscope of reds, blues, yellow, and oranges. On board the blue and gold carriage, an on–line version of the "New York Times" is waiting on the reserved tables replete with white linen and crystal. The train, consisting of two dining cars, an observation bar car, and a kitchen car, reflects the sumptuous luxury of the 1920s Pullman era.
