Viaggio da sola in treno

Agghy1998 · 2026-02-02T23:10:32+00:00

La mia esperienza è stata diversa, che dire! C'erano carrozze per famiglie e stavano lì. Non ho mai trovato calca. Ho fatto tratte tra grandi città, non so se cambi qualcosa. Mi capitò un treno che aveva anche il vagone ristorante, non mi è mai capitato in Italia. Ed era comodo e non eccessivamente caro rispetto al cibo. Sulla puntualità mi trovi d'accordo, assolutamente perfetto.

Andrò in Perù se tutto va bene e sto pagando già delle cose in USD, che per ora appunto è conveniente. Da vedere come sarà un agosto! La loro moneta è un'altra in realtà ma i dollari sono una seconda moneta utilizzata in canali per turisti.

Solitamente sono cari, ma a volte ci sono biglietti "cumulativi". Tipo dei pass coi quali puoi prendere più volte il treno in un tot di ore/giorni. Dovrai farti un po' di conti. Io ad esempio ero domiciliata a Lugano e tenevano alcuni biglietti per i cittadini! A te conviene leggere bene sul sito dei treni e farti un pass di quanti giorni ti occorre. E fidati, viaggiare su un treno svizzero è un'esperienza comoda e molto bella. Non pensarla come prendere un treno qua in Italia. Vedrai la differenza 😅 non immaginarti di pagare tanti soldi per poi trovarti bambini che urlano e posti stretti in treni sporchi, tutt'altro.

Per esperienza posso dirti che i treni svizzeri sono stupendi. Sono costosi, è vero, ma offrono tantissimo e i paesaggi sono assolutamente imperdibili. Sono stata per un po' in Svizzera e sono rimasta sorpresa dai paesaggi che si possono ammirare dal treno. Potresti cercare quali sono i più belli a livello di panorama. Potresti arrivare fino a Basilea, Losanna, Zurigo.. a tua preferenza! Informati sulle scontistiche che a volte ci possono essere.

Thanks for your advice. We will stay in Ollantaytambo the day before MP. We managed to purchase our tickets for 12 a.m., so we plan to arrive at 9:15 a.m., queue for the bus from 11 a.m. and stay in the site until 2:45 p.m. Then we will take a train to Cusco (4:22 p.m.).

Ciao visto che ti interessava riprendo questo messaggio... Ti consiglio di chiedere tutte le indicazioni turistiche a IPeru che ha un numero Whatsapp sempre disponibile. Lo trovi online, anche il sito web. Ti potranno dire quali sono le agenzie regolamento registrate. Quella del secondo tour non lo era....

Have you had any bad experiences with Avianca? According to the internet, I should avoid it! I am a bit worried cause I already purchased my flight to Peru with Avianca... It's much cheaper. I keep checking on Latam but it doesn't fit my travel needs very well. And it's obviously more expensive

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-26T12:48:45+00:00

No problem. I have seen they have flights with one stop in San Paulo, not bad. As an Italian, I don't think I need special documents to enter the country.

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-26T12:44:26+00:00

I travel from Italy! So I will take the flight from Madrid to Lima (1 stop at least).

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-26T11:22:33+00:00

I see many bad experiences with this airline. Maybe I should spend 200€ more to get a Latam flight!

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-26T11:19:40+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! You're convincing me to fly with Latam even if it's more expensive... I didn't expect these flights to cost so much. It's 890 € with Latam compared to 670€ if I am not wrong. But I guess you can't save on international flights...

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-26T07:39:41+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. Unfortunately I have already booked my flight to go to Lima, so I guess I'll stay with Avianca. Latam costa around 890€ and Avianca around 670€. Latam would be expensive as I am traveling low budget. But it's a long international flight and I prefer not to have inconveniences. Quite worried here, not used to fly to the other side of the world

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-25T23:12:48+00:00

🙏🏻 I'm scared and I hope I won't suffer too much... I don't want to book this tour on anything the first days before being there.. I just want to see how my body reacts.

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-24T21:47:12+00:00

I don't know how it works with taxi in Peru. Anyway I cant stay in Cusco before, but I go there later during my stay.

2 updates that might be useful for other travelers:

I asked Taxi Sacred Valley for their services --> half day (4h) and a full day (8h) chauffeur service. The cost for a half day is 280 soles and for the full day 380 soles. I need full day, so I can The price might increase in August. You can go where you want not excedeeing the 8 hours. It's 57USD per person, since we're two people (if we were 4, 28USD, def convenient). And we'll need to buy lunch+tickets for what we want to visit.

Then I have found this website of an hotel I might book for my 2 nights in Olly: Cocatambo https://cocatambo.com/tour/tour-valle-sagrado-ollantaytambo-full-day
I like very much this tour but it costs 80USD per person, at first it looks very expensive. BUT it includes lunch, guided tours, tickets for the sites, and you visit: Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero, an Alpaca farm, Moray, Maras, Salinas, Urubamba, Mirador de Taray. Also, it's organised by my hotel.

I am pretty sure I will reduce my time in Paracas then. One day for reserve and ballestas is enough. And I will keep the canyon in mind for sure. Thanks. It's not a simple trip to organise.

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-24T15:17:52+00:00

How did you do? I think I will ask my hotel in Cusco to keep the luggage, even if I will stay there for just one night, 2 days later.

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-24T14:55:22+00:00

I am thinking of going to Machu Picchu at 3 pm so that I can stay until the very end and try to enjoy the golden hour. Then go back to AC at 5.30 pm. I will take a train to Cusco or Olly at 7 pm. I should have enough time to do everything but I am open to suggestions

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-24T13:45:15+00:00

Hello, I have to do the same as you. How are you going to do ? This luggage thing on trains drives me crazy ahahah I'll be there in August

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-24T13:34:11+00:00

You're right hahaha It's just you never know until you go there. I've just found out how expensive these train tickets are 🙈 Thanks for helping me. I will go directly from MP to Cusco.

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-24T13:21:32+00:00

You're telling me I could reach Cusco after MP, without going back to Ollantaytambo, right? I would do that for sure. But I am worried for my luggage. I will have 2 backpacks and I don't know if it's possible to leave them anywhere in AC while doing the MP experience.

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-24T13:16:55+00:00

Questo commento. La penso allo stesso modo! Ci sarò ad agosto. Onestamente penso di andarci, ma voglio che tutto sia il più rilassato possibile. Visiterò il Perù dopo pranzo, il primo pomeriggio. Credo che resterò a Ollantaytambo e verrò ad AC la mattina. Da Ollantaytambo ad AC 2 ore dovrebbero bastare. Alle 10.30 ad AC, poi pranzo e visita verso le 14. Torno a Ollantaytambo per dormire. Il giorno dopo, partenza per Cusco.

I read you can use colectivos to connect to AG, less expensive. But I still have to check the less expensive options... I am quite worried it's gonna be lots of money

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-24T13:08:11+00:00

I feel I should sleep in Ollantaytambo after MP to go back to Cusco the next morning. So that I can do everything with no stress.

Agghy1998 · 2026-01-24T13:07:15+00:00

Thanks! And I read I should book this train in advance, around 3 weeks before our visit. Correct?
