Peru: A Train to the Clouds
Season 1
Episode 106
Once a month, a train departs the coastal megacity of Lima, Peru, bound for the highlands. Along the way, the railroad passes through numerous tunnels and over trestles, crowning at nearly 16,000 feet elevation. Host Dave Yetman hops on the train to arrive at the indigenous city of Huancayo, high on the Altiplano of the Andes and as different from Lima as any two cities in the world.
