PeruRail, Lake Titicaca Area, and Bolivia
2002
“It’s the great Peruvian railroad I ride.”
Traveling in style to Puno, even if it did take 13 hours
Watching Peru go by
Lonely, desolate and beautiful
Just another day on the Altiplano (high plain)
Our only scheduled stop
Locals taking advantage of the captive audience, 14,500 foot elevation
Quechuan town meeting?

Making use of public transportation, Lake Titicaca style
