After much uncertainty, we can confirm that possibilities for train travel as a part of your Peru holiday just improved with the announcement that the Central Train Service from Lima to Huancayo will run this year, although only as a limited service.
The train will run only once as a scheduled service, leaving Lima on the 28th of July from the old Desamparados train station in the north of Lima at 7:00am and arriving in Huancayo about 12 hours later. The return journey will take place on the 31st July at the same times but in the opposite direction!
We will be pleased to include this journey as an option if you are thinking about taking a holiday in Peru in July and we can offer you a guided tour of Huancayo and the surrounding countryside, as well as some light trekking if this would be of interest.
We should also add that organised groups of railway enthusiasts who would be interested in hiring the train for a special trip in Peru can do this at most times of the year - prices available on request.
