  1. bus or train are the most common routes.  see the comments from the link below.  

    when traveling by bus in Peru and Bolivia, don't choose the cheapest or the fastest bus. The fastest are the fastest because the drivers don't rest and because they drive faster than they should, which is often a deadly combination on the narrow mountain roads. The cheapest are the cheapest because they sell double the occupancy that would actually fit on the bus. The others sell just 50% more.

    Another general tip: when traveling in South America by bus, always be aware that what normally would be a 10-hour trip may end up taking a couple of days in case the bus breaks down (not so uncommon).

    Traveling by bus/train in South America is reasonably safe but you will have to be careful, especially when traveling alone. Wrap your backpack within a sturdy plastic sack (which you'll find in any streetside market in eg. La Paz) and attach the whole thing to your leg while asleep. Also keep all your documents, money etc. in a place where they can't be stolen from while you're asleep. I met several Europeans who lost all their money and travel documents while asleep on a bus.

    good luck, and bon voyage!
