New Argentina Tourist Attraction Gets Your Head in the Clouds

I just learned that Argentina has re-opened a truly high-in-the-sky attraction that is one of a kind.

The Train to the Clouds, El Tren a las Nubes in Spanish, takes its passengers high into the Andes in the country's north — so high, in fact, that oxygen bottles are a feature in every carriage, to help those left lightheaded by the journey.

The train, which leaves the town of Salta for a 400-kilometer (250-mile) round trip into the South American mountain range, reaches an altitude normally reserved by helicopters.

If you're not afraid of heights and want this to be a destination on your next Argentina Tour, come visit us at Latitude World Tours, and let our experts help customize your next Latin American vacation.
