Though the train is cool, I always suggest the touristic bus instead. Because it also takes the whole day (10 hours actually), but since it's faster, it stops on several places, giving the opportunity to visit Racchi ruins, the beautiful Andahuaylillas church with its painted ceiling, Puka Pukará, etc.
The train does only one stop at the highest point (included in the bus tour too).
