Huancavelica

The weekend of February 10-11, Jeremy and I took a train to Huancavelica, a remote town in the Central Highlands. We caught a six-thirty early morning express train from Huancayo. It was our first long-distance, train ride in Peru and we were happy for the change of transport. It was a really nice ride with really nice scenery of the surrounding mountain and farm area. Also, we got there in just over half the time it would´ve taken us had we taken the regular train.

Huancavelica was a nice place to get away for a weekend. The town, itself, is very simple, but nice. There are very few tourists who visit here mostly because of it´s remote location, but we really liked being in a small town again. We spent our time there, relaxing, putzing around, trying out some local dishes, and climbing up to a mirador overlooking the town with a great view of the surrounding mountains.
