    Fabulous way to travel between Puno and Cusco

    We had to work hard to escape the Bolivian problems. But we got to Puno in time and we were two of the 13 passengers to board this 17 carriage train - met by the manager and some of the 30 crew we settled in to some pre lunch drinks - lunch was everything you could expect from this luxury train journey. Exhibitions of Peruvian cooking and making pisco sour in the afternoon before evening meal of equal Michelin standard. Music playing through our in the two main bars as we passed fantastic scenery on the way to Cusco. Do it - it is a lifetime experience.

    3 days Luxury train from Cusco - Puno - Arequipa: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.

    How much does 3 days Luxury train from Cusco - Puno - Arequipa cost?

    +

    Prices start at $5,054 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puno usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 days Luxury train from Cusco - Puno - Arequipa take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puno is not rushed.

    Is 3 days Luxury train from Cusco - Puno - Arequipa worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 36 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 days Luxury train from Cusco - Puno - Arequipa?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 3 days Luxury train from Cusco - Puno - Arequipa suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 days Luxury train from Cusco - Puno - Arequipa?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puno can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puno and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 days Luxury train from Cusco - Puno - Arequipa start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puno within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Puno?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Puno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat, Uros and Taquile Speedboat Day Tour in Small Group, Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Puno?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Puno?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
