Santa Cruz (city, Bolivia) by train
The "death train" (so named because of its history in transporting Yellow Fever victims) runs on bumpy tracks from Quijarro, close to Corumbá on the Brazilian side. There is a variety of different trains offering different classes and prices. The journey takes 24 hours. The most comfortable option, with cama seats, is the "Ferrobus" (Tues, Thurs, Sat) which at time of writing (April 2010) cost 250Bs per person. Contrary to what is written in many guidebooks, tickets can be purchased days in advance at the station (Terminal Bimodal). Biting insects are plentiful, so get repellent before you go.
The railway between Santa Cruz and Quijarro is operated by Ferroviaria Oriental S.A. .
From Corumbá the bus-ride to Sao Paulo takes about 24 hours more.
