Little blue train travels over the 63-metre-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 (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 meters above the ground in your little blue train.

* This review is for the office itself, not the actual tour/trip/train experience *
The attention was superb, the gentleman helping me was very informative and answered all my questions (which were few since I've read a few descriptions about the trip already). Purchasing the ticket was quick and easy; they accept all forms of payment.
I took one star off because the buying process online was painful although informative.
Es una atracción y experiencia que vale la pena realizar aunque su valor sea elevado para el turista local y por lo que ofrecen.
