Day 37 (Train ride Puno to Cusco)
We finally got our train tickets, but then our pick up for the train station never arrived - PERUBOLIVIA ISNT A GREAT TRAVEL AGENCY - RATHER GO ELSEWHERE Anyway it served us right for being lazy, we got a cab at 07:30, and it was like 5 blocks to the train station, booked our luggage in and on we went, there were people buying tickets 10 min before …
Fry ups, Roasts.... oh and Machu Picchu!
So we set off from Puno on a tour bus called 'First Class' to Cusco, slightly different to our normal bus journeys as it involved stops at 6 different sights en route.

We had to make our way to the train station for a 9 hr ride to Cusco. Backpacker's Service- US$17 First Class Service- US$119 I wonder if they have gold taps and silk cushions on …

“Something different”
Reviewed Aug 4, 2007
At this guest house I was welcomed and treated like a friend. The place is all decorated in a horror themed style with a hint of humour, and has many pets. I hope Martin the Iguana is well! This is the place for you if you are looking for a warm and friendly guest house with a twist!
