Lima - Huancayo by Train

A new tourist service was recently presented by Ferrocarril Central Andino (FCA), the railway company that runs the rails from Lima to Huancayo, La Oroya and Cerro de Pasco.

The new service will cover the Lima-Huancayo stretch, employing some comfortable and modern coaches, featuring a bar-wagon with a windowed balcony that offers breathtaking views of the Andes. The 11-hour trip passes through the mythical Ticlio, considered -at 4.758 m.a.s.l.- the highest rail point in the world.

The new service is scheduled for 20 trips during 2007, all departing from Desamparados Station, in dowtown Lima.
