Assuming it’s recent, it’s almost certainly between Cusco and Puno.
Source? Well, it’s circumstantial, but bear with me.
- I’ve been there, and the scenery immediately made me think of my bus journey between the two cities.
- the second carriage (blue and yellow) is the colours of the PeruRail trains.
- at present, the only routes on PeruRail are Cusco to Peru or Cusco to Aguas Calientes/Machu Picchu. The second journey is mostly though river valleys, and looks decidedly different.
As it’s open plains, I’d also plot it as between Puno and La Raya, if I had to guess, as the scenery changes in the second half. But I can’t guarantee it.
However, there USED to be a train down to Arequipa as well, now I believe running only on demand for large groups. So if it’s a stock photo, it might have come from that journey as some of the landscape would be similar. But it’s a lot less likely.
