* Is the Peru Rail train from Puno to Cuzco worth doing? Any comments on the food on board, scenery during the journey, etc?

That train trip was the most miserable, uncomfortable, and I think dangerous rail trip I have ever taken. The tracks are in terrible condition. Many, many times I noted that the car ahead of mine was at a 45 degeree angle to mine. When I got off the train, I felt like I had gotton off a long sea journey on rough seas - I was rocking for hours.
I asked my tour guide about alternatives. She said the bus was a much more comfortable, more interesting trip, and took several hours less time. So I asked her why we were taking the train. She said it was because tourists think the train is romantic, and are thinking of European trains.
Take the bus from Puno to Cuzco.
