The train is the best way to reach the city. The station is at Av. Ferrocarril 461 in Chilca (51-6-421-7294). There are two trains daily, at 6:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. (2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Sundays), taking four to five hours. Prices vary depending on class. If you do not want to take the scenic train ride there are other transportation options. Bus TICLSAS (corner of Ancash and Angaraes) Chilca has several departures leaving daily. Traveling time is about five hours.
