Traveler reviews
Extraordinary
It is a must-see, but take precautions due to the likely altitude sickness. Chew coca leaves or coca candies and walk slowly. The rest: you have to experience it
Interesting day trip
This was a great day out. The coach was comfortable and there were quite a few stops along the way to break up the journey. We were lucky with the weather too.
Great
An excellent tour - meeting point is clearly signposted, and transport is clean and modern. The train/viaduct is stunning and well organized but the journey to San Antonio is every bit it’s equal - the scenery is amazing. Well worth the time and expense.
Above the clouds!
Stunning views. A well organised day. The guides are very informative. Potential altitude sickness taken seriously with the attendance of medics.
Brilliant excursion.
This experience was a real highlight from our time in North West Argentina. Such a unique way to experience the mountains and get a feel for what traditional life was like there. Whilst also seeing the places where mining is happening and thermal pools are planned. Beautiful surroundings at a lovely pace. Highly recommend. If you come to this area and don’t do it, you’ve missed out. Note-only pesos are accepted on the train and by the traditional peoples selling their goods.
