TREN A LAS NUBES

Go there and contact
Little blue train travels over the 63-meter-high Polvorilla viaduct from San Antonio de los Cobres.
Unfortunately, the Tren a las Nubes is no longer as majestic as it once was. It's only a short distance from San Antonio de los Cobres, which you reach by bus from Salta (you can drive yourself if you have a car). The journey, while truly magnificent, is marred by the "mass tourism" created by the six crowded buses that follow one another to reach San Antonio de los Cobres. Nevertheless, it's a lovely attraction, especially the Polvorilla viaduct, where you'll be suspended 63 m high in the little blue train.

De plus, si vous êtes sensibles à l'altitude ou si vous n'avez pas passé un peu de temps en haute altitude avant ce voyage, ATTENTION! La montée est assez concéquente et beaucoup de personnes tombent malade (maux de tête, de ventre, fatigue et vertiges). Mais, ils sont bien organisés pour cela, car il y a un secouriste par wagon et des bombones d'oxygène pour soulager le mal de l'altitude
