Description

This Service combines two sections: National Route 51, with photo stops at panoramic points of sites "stopped in time" to then embark on the magical experience of the TRAIN TO THE CLOUDS.
We propose a unique and special trip that combines its services in two sections: National Route 51, with photo stops at panoramic points of sites "stopped in time" to then embark on the magical experience of the TRAIN TO THE CLOUDS, which is manifested in everything its splendor upon arrival at the imposing viaduct in the foothills of the Andes.
We not only combine landscapes and sensations, but also stories and experiences, which lead us to relive the epic of railway construction, back in 1920, initiated by the Engineer Richard Fontain Maury, the project's alma mater, as well as discover towns detained in the time in harmonious coexistence with the mountain.
