DAY 5: SALTA
Breakfast and transfer to the General Belgrano station in
the city of Salta, 1187 meters above the sea level, and ends
its journey at the viaduct.
It leaves from the city of Salta, the lowest point, and from
there it begins the upward route until it reaches the final
point at La Polvorilla Viaduct, the highest in the trip. As
you reach the different stations, local villagers at
picturesque stands sell craftwork, clothes, and regional
products as interesting souvenirs of the trip.
The railways reach a height of 4,200 meters above sea level,
turning this train into one of the highest in the world. The
train offers meals onboard, translator services, and medical
assistant for any passenger that may be affected by the lack
of oxygen caused by the height. The trip lasts approximately
sixteen hours, from seven am until midnight or later. The
train runs 217 km. and passes through 29 bridges, 21 tunnels,
13 viaducts, 2 spirals, and 2 zigzags.
There are two stops throughout the trip: one at San Antonio
de los Cobres station, and the other one at La Polvorilla
viaduct.The most amazing train in the world, the one that
takes you to the clouds, reaches a height of 4,200 meters in
its 217 km trip.
It takes its name Tren a las Nubes, from the clouds that are
often seen under bridges and around slopes.The number of
spirals, viaducts, tunnels and other twists and turns that
the train passes through arises from a decision made by the
designer of this project, the US engineer Richard Maury. He
took into account the principle of adhesion of train wheels
to the railways and the laws of physics, ruling out the
funicular system commonly used, so that the train may safely
reach the expected heights. The train has no cogwheels, not
even for the steepest slopes, since the railways are
peculiarly arranged, running through a system of zigzags and
spirals. Return to the hotel. Accommodation.
