Ganzer Tag: Luxuszug von Cusco nach Puno

Great... almost my best memory of that trip to Peru-bolivia! Wondering all the time. Not to be missed!!!

An absolutely amazing experience not to be missed. The staff were fantastic, the food was excellent and the entertainment was such a laugh! The scenery outside is obviously majestic too and this is a wonderful way to experience it.

We actually went Puno to Cusco. Really enjoyed the 11 hr journey. Beautiful train with comfy armchairs to sit in for the journey. Food was really good. Live band and dancers in the bar carriage, so you get the choice whether you want to listen to them! We all enjoyed the show though, although its a slightly surreal spectacle. The views of the countryside from the train are pretty spectacular too. Provided a relaxing day, after many hotel moves and early starts to see the various sites on offer around Peru. Highly recommend it if it fits into your itinery.

An impeccable Welcoming, a direct care, we get on the train. This train drives slowly and passes through beautiful regions Service is three stars, we see that the staff is professional as usual the Peruvians are charming, and are listening to us Frankly, the meal is excellent. We ordered our meat bleeding and this was the case we drank a quality wine that we could enjoy. Inside the train very comfortable, we sink royally into well plump armchairs. The toilets are spotless The show is nice, the Mood music does not take the lead. In short, it is a good time.

This was part of our itinerary booked by our travel company. When I saw a 10 hour train ride I thought “ oh no”: However this turned out to be a totally relaxing day in the middle of s very busy trip. Our guide brought us to the station where you are escorted to a very nice VIP lounge with coffee and tea available. Each party is escorted directly to your seats which were very comfortable with a table and lamp in the center. Restrooms in each car nicer than any Amtrak. Breakfast and lunch available by menu are extra. They were easily able to accommodate my need for gluten free foods and brought a basket of delicious moist gluten free bread. At lunch the 3 choices were not gluten free and they offered to prepare something for me. I declined having had a large breakfast. Tea service included. Entertainment during the ride snd nice big windows to watch the country roll by. Got to nap, read etc. Think Orient Express.

Getting to Puno from Cusco will take a lot of time no matter how you do it. For a once of a life time experience, we've decided to put in the extra money and travel in leisure. The cabins make you feel like you are riding the Orient Express and it's a shame you are not surrounded with Brits wearing tall hats. We were pampered but we also had to pay quite a bit (for peru)for extras like 16 bucks for a sandwich. About 4 hours from Puno, the train broke down and we were stuck in nowhere for more than 4 hours!!! From the recorded message in three languages, we concluded it wasn't the first time.by the time we got to Puno, we were more then 15 hours on the train. Australian couple sitting next to us said that it took them that long to get from Sydney to Lima :) Still, the view was lovely, the food was good and indeed a once in a life time.

Lovely old carriages bringing back memories of the Orient Express Wonderful bar and open carriage to enjoy the views Fun entertainment of singing dancing and fashion parade Good food Chairs need re padding for a 10 hour journey or take a cushion

I made the journey from Puno to "el Cusco". The ten hour journey became a luxury of experiences of Good Service, Fun, Beautiful Scenery and High Level Gastronomy. The price is somewhat higher than a plane ticket but worth it. The train with almost more Perurail employees than passengers. Optimal care from the moment you arrive at the station leave luggage and coffee or infusion before boarding. Attentive and helpful staff, optimal and continuous train cleaning throughout the journey, very participatory and entertaining animation program (music, dancing, alpaca fashion show, "pisco sur" preparation class etc., etc. Sublime lunch and good welcome cocktail. Thank you to all the staff for letting us enjoy this unique experience!!! Highly recommended!!
