I seem to be in a movie, traveling on a luxury train with my laptop, sitting by the window, enjoying the scenery, and taking advantage of writing a few lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand, I want to write, and on the other, to look out the window and contemplate the majestic mountains accompanying me along the way. All upholstered in green and crowned with white clouds at its tops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a tight budget, you can do this tour by bus<\/a><\/strong>, it’s pretty cheaper and the sightseeing don’t let you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Luxury Journey from Cusco to Puno by Train<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love traveling by train; it seems one of the most romantic ways to travel, and it is much better if you do it on a train like this.<\/p>\n\n\n

I travel on a PeruRail train<\/a> from Cuzco to Puno. It’s about 10.30 hours of travel, it seems like a lot, but it really isn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here what matters is the journey; enjoy the experience of traveling by train through southern Peru, seeing stunning landscapes, typical villages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also see the reality of others; many llamas (or perhaps alpacas?) make you get up from the seat to go and take a photo in the wagon with panoramic views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before starting the journey to Puno by train<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you arrive at the front desk to check in, you are greeted very kindly with a smile. They then make you go into a waiting room where you’re invited for something hot like a coke matte or a latte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are ready to board, they accompany you to your seat; they tell you more or less what the trip will be like, what is included in the ticket, tell you the menu of the day, they put the suitcase or backpack in place and part at the indicated time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, you can see that they are part of a British company and are punctual!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, there is only one passenger car, a bar car, and a viewing car. In addition, there is the kitchen car, the employee car, and the locomotive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luxury Train Trip to Puno<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I can tell you about the passenger car, it is beautiful, comfortable, elegant, and serves you like kings. Most of them travel as a couple or family, except for a Japanese who travels alone and me.<\/p>\n\n\n

I haven’t tried the other ways to go to Puno, but this one’s fantastic. Along the way, you can see spectacular landscapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are always accompanied by the mountains, which are so green and covered with vegetation that you want to contemplate them continuously in this rainy season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see many animals, like llamas and different varieties of birds, we have seen up flamingos! and they all ran out to the lookout car to take pictures!

Travel to Puno by train from Cuzco<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making the journey to Puno by train is to get to Puno and enjoy the trip. Therefore, what matters is the way, not the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, we cross towns and markets in addition to spectacular landscapes. So, this way you can see another part of Peru, which would be very difficult to see if not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The train passed between the village market several times, and it looked like the awnings would touch the train!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the trip more enjoyable, we had a show of traditional music and dances, in the morning and the afternoon after lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And also a kind of pass of models, where they presented different garments made of baby alpaca, very soft wool, made with the first shear of the alpaca, made more or less when he is about eight months old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And no one suffered from altitude sickness<\/strong><\/a> during the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
