It leaves from the city of Salta, the lowest point, and from
there it begins the upward route until it reaches the final
point at La Polvorilla Viaduct, the highest in the trip. As
you reach the different stations, local villagers at
picturesque stands sell craftwork, clothes, and regional
products as interesting souvenirs of the trip.
The railways reach a height of 4,200 meters above sea level,
turning this train into one of the highest in the world. The
train offers meals onboard, translator services, and medical
assistant for any passenger that may be affected by the lack
of oxygen caused by the height. The trip lasts approximately
sixteen hours, from seven am until midnight or later. The
train runs 217 km. and passes through 29 bridges, 21 tunnels,
13 viaducts, 2 spirals, and 2 zigzags.
There are two stops throughout the trip: one at San Antonio
de los Cobres station, and the other one at La Polvorilla
viaduct.The most amazing train in the world, the one that
takes you to the clouds, reaches a height of 4,200 meters in
its 217 km trip.
It takes its name Tren a las Nubes, from the clouds that are
often seen under bridges and around slopes.The number of
spirals, viaducts, tunnels and other twists and turns that
the train passes through arises from a decision made by the
designer of this project, the US engineer Richard Maury. He
took into account the principle of adhesion of train wheels
to the railways and the laws of physics, ruling out the
funicular system commonly used, so that the train may safely
reach the expected heights. The train has no cogwheels, not
even for the steepest slopes, since the railways are
peculiarly arranged, running through a system of zigzags and
spirals. Return to the hotel. Accommodation.

Machu Picchu and my entire visit to Peru were
wonderful. A dream come true.
I could not have been happier with everyone I met through your
arrangements.
The tours were very informative and showed me more than I knew
existed in this beautiful place.
All of the accommodations were very comfortable.
The luncheon buffet at the Alhambra was top rate. And the Ferré
Hotel in Lima was also a very good choice.Your personal assistance
throughout was exceptional!
Thank you for everything!

I was one of
the “Joel Williams” party of four who was recently on a Peru Gateway
Travel tour of northern and southern Peru. I had to write so you
would know how satisfied we were with the hotel accommodations, the
tour guides, the restaurants they choose for our lunches and just
everything about the trip.
The hotels we stayed in were well located, clean and convenient in
every way. We have absolutely no complaints!
Our tour covered Peru from the north to the south. It had four
internal flights, so there were many connections, pick ups and
deliveries involved. Peru Gateway Travel made sure we were always
delivered on time to the airports and promptly met and picked up
when we landed. We never had a moments worry.
Since we had many different day tours, we had several different
guides. All were professional and spoke our language well. All were
very knowledgeable and eager to impart that knowledge to us. They
chose great places for our lunches and the cuisine was
unforgettable. We have traveled to many countries but found the food
in Peru to be absolutely wonderful.
I also wanted to mention the drivers who picked us up at all times
of the day and night, drove us to our next destination and the
delivered us safely to our hotels. We never had a driver who was
less than prompt, courteous and most importantly, a skilled and
careful driver.
The sites we saw were the places we chose to see. And they did not
disappoint us. From the desert to the Andes to the Jungle, we
enjoyed it all.
Please feel free to use this email on your website or as a
testimonial. All four of our group would recommend Peru Gateway
Travel to anyone planning a trip to Peru. We were well taken care
of, enjoyed delicious food, saw awesome sights and had a wonderful
time.
Sincerely.

I am now back
home but still not believed that the holiday is over. I just
write you to tell you that I had a wonderful time in Peru and to
thanks for
your support. The circuit was very well designed and I had the
opportunity
to visit all the important sites I envisaged and also the Sacred
Valley and
the Altiplano.
I was really impressed by the organization and your people, always
in time
for pick up and interested to offer the necessary information.
Finally I showed to my friends that Peru is not so far and a visit
there
could be a wonderful experience. For me was a dream come true.
Many thanks to you and to your team.

My 2 adult children and I recently returned from our
hike to Machu Picchu and I wanted to thank you for all your
assistance. Our trip was great. We very much enjoyed visiting your
beautiful country. I especially want to praise our guide, cook and
porters. They did a terrific job. The food was marvelous and after a
long hike it was definitely something to look forward to. The
porters were very kind and when I needed some assistance at the end
of the 3rd day one of the porters helped me a lot. Our guide was
great. He was very knowledgeable and fun to hike with and he seemed
to really love his job. Again, thanks so much for everything
