Highlights
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)

About Salta
Salta, a colonial city in a green valley of north-west Argentina, is the base for the Andean canyons, vineyards and high desert of the region.
Salta sits in the Lerma Valley at about 1,200 metres, ringed by green hills at the edge of the Andes. Its centre keeps Spanish colonial buildings around the Plaza 9 de Julio, among them a pink-fronted cathedral, the arcaded Cabildo and the Convent of San Bernardo with its carved wooden door. A cable car climbs Cerro San Bernardo for a view over the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Salta: Great Salt Flats (Salinas Grandes), Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo), Purmamarca.
