An experience 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.

Fabulous train journey

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.

Response from the operator: Hi !! Thanks very much for your feedback!! We are glad you enjoyed your time at the train. Best wishes!! PVTravels team

To live absolutely

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.

Very relaxing, worth the splurge.

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.

Full day: Luxury train from Cusco to Puno: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Full day: Luxury train from Cusco to Puno cost?

+

Prices start at $550 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Full day: Luxury train from Cusco to Puno take?

+

Plan for about 12 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 Cusco is not rushed.

Is Full day: Luxury train from Cusco to Puno worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Full day: Luxury train from Cusco to Puno?

+

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 Full day: Luxury train from Cusco to Puno suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Full day: Luxury train from Cusco to Puno?

+

Around 3 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 Cusco 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 Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Full day: Luxury train from Cusco to Puno 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 Cusco 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 Cusco?

+

On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. 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 Cusco?

+

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 Cusco?

+

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.
