Go from Puno to Cusco by TRAIN by chancay
Great adventure and much more interesting than going by bus. 10 to 12 hours journey. Donīt expect a punctual departure of the trains, thereīs always delay. Read more on my Cusco Transportation page.Donīt go first class, too boring.
If you go in the third class you are among the peruvian "buisness" travellers, these who go to the Cusco market to sell their handcraft articles asthe trains serves as transport medium for the technical wares that came into country through the chilenian free trade zone as well. When we travelled the whole train was filled up with televisons and other technical stuff.
You wonīt die of hunger neither in the third class, whole time their are women and children selling delicious peruvian food.
