Train to the Clouds

It is one of the three highest trains in the world. It travels through the vertiginous mountains of the Andes Mountain Range and moves along astonishing landscapes.It leaves from the city of Salta, moves along the Valle de Lerma (Lerma valley), gets into Quebrada del Toro (Toro gorge) and reaches the Puna.The final point of the trip is the kilometre 1350 where you will find La Polvorilla viaduct which is 224 metres long and 63 metres high. It is the highest cowboy line, at 4200 m.a.s.l. and one of the most important ones in the world due to its characteristics. The whole trip takes almost 15 hours, crossing 29 bridges, 21 tunnels, 13 viaducts, 2 "curls" and 2 zig-zags. Due to the height at which the train moves, it is quite common to see clouds under the bridges or at the mountainsides, hence the choice of its name.The train offers several services such as: restaurant car, panoramic car, folk spectacles, consulting room, audio, video and bilingual guides.
