Little blue train travels over the 63-metre-high Polvorilla viaduct from San Antonio de los Cobres
The tren a las nubes is unfortunately no longer as majestic as it used to be. It only covers a very short distance from San Antonio de los Cobres, which you can reach by bus (you can go there yourself if you have a motorized vehicle). The trip, if it is really beautiful, is spoiled by the "mass tourism" side created by the six crowded buses that follow each other to get to San Antonio de los Cobres. Still, it's a nice attraction, especially the Polvorilla viaduct, where you'll be suspended 63 meters high in your little blue train.

De plus, si vous êtes sensibles à l'altitude ou si vous n'avez pas passé un peu de temps en haute altitude avant ce voyage, ATTENTION! La montée est assez concéquente et beaucoup de personnes tombent malade (maux de tête, de ventre, fatigue et vertiges). Mais, ils sont bien organisés pour cela, car il y a un secouriste par wagon et des bombones d'oxygène pour soulager le mal de l'altitude
