turns, and bridges, culminating in the stunning La
Polvorrilla Viaduct. You will cross magnificent landscapes,
making your way from the multicoloured Lerma valley

will describe the region's topography and check that
everyone is breathing fine and not suffering from
altitude sickness. In the small town of San Antonio
de los Cobres you will have a chance to buy handicrafts,
ponchos, and other textiles goods from the indigenous
people. The 14 hours ride offers meals onboard, translator
services, and medical assistant for any passenger
