The 'Macho Train', a historic railway connecting Huancayo and Huancavelica in Peru, has resumed passenger transport after a year-long hiatus. The free service began on October 26, operating once a week between Chilca and Cuenca, covering a distance of approximately 120 kilometers. The journey takes about two hours, reducing travel time by 30 minutes compared to road transport. The reactivation aims to facilitate mobility for communities along the route, especially those who rely on the train to cross the Mantaro River. It is estimated that users will save a total of S/52,000 between October 26 and November 30.
