Overview
We propose a unique and special trip that combines its services in two sections: National Route 51, with photographic stops at panoramic points of sites "stopped in time" and then embark on the magical experience of the TRAIN TO THE CLOUDS, which is manifested in everything its splendor upon reaching 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 the construction of the railway, back in 1920, started by the engineer Richard Fontain Maury, alma mater of the project, as well as to discover towns stopped in time in harmonious coexistence with the mountains.
You must be at the bus station at 06:00 to check-in.
The reserved places are subject to availability of the Train, the published product corresponds to Foreigners (non-Argentines)
