Train to the clouds

The third highest train in the world has a capacity of 468 pbadengers and a height of 4220 meters above sea level. The epic story of this type of railway construction, begun almost a hundred years ago, will be part of this train journey, which reaches a top speed of 35 kilometers per hour. The circuit is divided into two sections: the first – by bus – leaves from the city of Salta towards San Antonio de los Cobres by the RN51, with photographic stops at Campo Quijano, the El Toro viaduct, the Yacoraite geological formation and El Alfarcito (country breakfast included). In San Antonio de los Cobres, the train is taken to the La Polvorilla viaduct, a final destination reached after an hour's drive and culminating at 4220 meters altitude.
