La Paz - Guaqui by train (Bolivia)

We ride the train from La Pas Alto to the lakeside port of Guaqui in Bolivia on the edge of Lake Titicaca. Here we meet the twice weekly train ferry from Puno carrying grain. The journey is across barren and sparely populated land up on the Altiplano.

At 12,600 feet above sea level, the inlet of Lake Titicaca is magnificent with wildlife and reed beds.
Sadly, the ferry from Puno no longer operates as traffic is sent by road directly to La Paz, so this line is now without a service.

Part of a longer trip in Chile and Bolivia organised by Ffestiniog Travel in November 1997.
