Peru — Concept Stage

Peru — a national network to the MMC standard.

2 national corridors linking 10 cities, about 2,600 km measured city to city in straight lines (about 3,100 km built, at a route factor of 1.2), with 3 cross-border links. The Pacific coast from Tacna to Tumbes, with the southern Andes line to Puno and Cusco.

The Network Concept

The national corridors.

Each corridor is listed below in order of its cities.

Schematic map of an MMC network concept for Peru: 2 national corridors, cross-border links and the spines. — MMC Peru network concept, schematic. Dark lines are national corridors; grey lines are neighbouring national corridors; gold lines are cross-border links; the wide gold band marks the spines. Routes are indicative.

Routes are indicative. Corridors are drawn city to city, through the cities on the existing railway wherever a line exists: MMC corridors follow those lines, upgrading the line or running above it on viaduct. Where no line exists, the corridor is new build. Final alignments are set at detailed design by terrain survey, geotechnical analysis, environmental and cultural heritage assessment, and agreement between the nations they connect.

PE-1 Pacific: Tacna – Arequipa – Ica – Lima – Trujillo – Chiclayo – Piura – Tumbes
PE-2 Southern Andes: Arequipa – Puno – Cusco
