About this activity
A private vehicle will pick you up from your hotel in Salta around 6am to take you to the meeting point.
Meet at Plaza Antofagasta at 6:15am, in front of the SaltaTrain Station. Here all the passengers will do the check-in with tickets and passports. Once everyone is registered and seated inside the bus, the journey begins.
At 7:35am, your first photographic stop is in Campo Quijano, located 18.5 miles (30 kilometers) from the capital. Return to the bus at 8:05am, and make the second stop at Viaducto del Toro, located on the Quebrada.
Continue on and stop at El Alfarcito, a place where the tradition of local handicrafts is kept alive. Enjoy a country breakfast, and visit the craft fair. Also we will be visiting the Father Chifri Fundation, an organization that helps to obtain resources and provides education and training to local people.
This will be our last stop before arriving at San Antonio de los Cobres, a town at the foot of the Terciopelo Hill. Arriving at 11:40am, go to the train station and embark on the emblematic Train to the Clouds.
At 12pm, start the train ride, and experience the beauty of nature, stillness, and immensity. Onboard there is bar service, postal service, and merchandising to make this trip an enjoyment and an unforgettable memory.
Around 1pm, arrive to the Viaduct of Polvorilla, the most recognized bridge of the area. Here, descend from the train and have 30 minutes to tour the place and take incredible photos.
Get back on the train and start the return to San Antonio de los Cobres, arriving at the station around 2:45 pm. Here we will have two hours of free time where we can tour the town, experience different activities with the native communities, among them, you can visit the Craft Market, create a clay pot with your own hands, or make a trekking with llamas (optional, not included). Also, it is the ideal time to enjoy lunch (not included).
Around 4:30 pm, go back on board the bus and start our return. After an hour's drive, make our last stop in the village of Santa Rosa de Tastil, where one of the largest archaeological sites in our country is located. It is estimated that it hosted 3,000 people approximately.
