About this tour

The Train to the Clouds departs from San Antonio de los Cobres and crosses La Polvorilla Viaduct, above 4,200 m. Get to the station on your own (train only) or travel with us from Salta on the Bus-Train-Bus option.

The Train to the Clouds is one of the highest trains in the world and one of the best-known experiences in northern Argentina. The tourist section departs from San Antonio de los Cobres and reaches La Polvorilla Viaduct in one hour: an iron bridge 63 m high and 224 m long, more than 4,200 m above sea level.

Two ways to do it

Train only. You get to the San Antonio de los Cobres station on your own, by car or rental car, and ride the train to the viaduct and back. This is the option if you already have a vehicle.

Bus-Train-Bus. You leave with us by bus from the Salta train station and do the whole trip by bus and train, with breakfast and afternoon snack included. It's the most complete option.

The Bus-Train-Bus route

We leave early by bus from the Salta station along Route 51, through Campo Quijano and the Quebrada del Toro. At El Alfarcito there's a country breakfast with products made by local communities, at the Alfarcito Foundation.

We continue through the Quebrada de las Cuevas and the Muñano plains to San Antonio de los Cobres, where we board the train. After an hour we reach La Polvorilla Viaduct, with about 30 minutes to get off and take photos, and ride the train back to San Antonio.

The return to Salta is by bus, with a stop at Santa Rosa de Tastil, an ancient pre-Hispanic settlement on the Inca Road, with an artisans' center where you can buy local products.

Schedules

The exact check-in and departure times are on your voucher. Bring your ID and your voucher or ticket.

A bit of history

The viaduct opened in 1939 as part of the C14 railway line, which links Salta with Chile across the Puna. The Train to the Clouds tourist service began in the 1970s and is now one of the most famous train rides in South America.

Other trains

If you like trains, we also sell tickets for the Solar Train of the Quebrada in Jujuy: the 360° Experience, ticket only or with a transfer from Salta or Jujuy, and the 180° Experience from Purmamarca. We are an official ticket sales agency.

In those cases the page says "Operated by …", the operator provides the service and its cancellation policy applies, which we show you before you pay. 3. HOW TO BUY Choose the service, the date and the travelers, and add it to your cart; you can buy several services in one order. Enter your details, tell us which country you are paying from and choose a payment method. Before paying you see the final price, each service's cancellation policy and the date until which you can withdraw. When you accept these terms and pay, your booking is created and we send you the confirmation by email and WhatsApp. Payment deadlines: with Mercado Pago or PayPal, the order expires after 60 minutes; with a bank transfer, Wise or Prex, you have 24 hours to send us the receipt. Never after the booking cutoff of the first service. An expired order creates no obligation: you can place it again, at the prices of that moment. 4. CONFIRMATION • Services marked "Instant confirmation" are confirmed as soon as the payment goes through, and you get the voucher right away. • For the rest, your booking is registered when you pay and we confirm it with the provider during business hours. The time it takes is shown on the page. • For trains, the ticket is issued by the operator: confirmation depends on seats being available on the chosen date. • If the provider has no availability, we offer you another date, another activity or a 100% refund of what you paid. You choose. 5. PRICES • Prices are in Argentine pesos and include VAT. Below each price you see the amount without national taxes. • The list price is the card price. Paying by bank transfer from an Argentine bank account gives you a promotional discount, shown before you pay. • With Argentine cards, through Mercado Pago, up to 3 interest-free installments (CFTEA 0.00%), with the total shown next to them. • If you pay in US dollars or euros (PayPal, Wise), we convert the price at the exchange rate you see before paying.

If you paid a deposit, the balance stays fixed in pesos, at the price on the day of your purchase. 6.

Trains are paid in full. The voucher is issued with the deposit. • If the balance does not arrive on time, we will contact you. If it is not paid, we may cancel the booking, applying the cancellation policy to the amount paid. 7. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL Within 10 calendar days of your purchase, and up to 24 hours before the first service, you can withdraw without giving a reason. We refund 100% of what you paid, with no charges. There is no right of withdrawal for purchases made less than 24 hours before the service, nor for trains and services run by other operators ("Operated by …"), which follow their operator's policy. The deadline for your purchase is shown before you pay, in the confirmation email and in your order. You can withdraw with the withdrawal button (in the footer of every page), on WhatsApp or by email: we give you an identification code right away and reply within 24 hours. The refund is made through the same method you paid with, within 10 business days. 8. CANCELLATIONS AND CHANGES Outside the withdrawal period, each service's policy applies. The penalty is calculated on what you paid (if you paid a deposit, on the deposit). • Shared group tours and packages: free of charge up to 48 hours before; after that, 100% is retained. • Private tours and trips: free of charge up to 15 days before; after that, 50% is retained. • Trains and services run by other operators: according to the operator's policy. Also: • You can cancel for all travelers or only for some. In a package, each service follows the rule for shared group tours. • Not showing up, or arriving late for the departure, counts as a cancellation within 48 hours. • Date change: for shared group tours and packages, if you let us know 48 hours or more in advance, we change the date free of charge, subject to availability. With less than 48 hours, it is treated as a cancellation. For private tours and trips, date changes are reviewed case by case. For trains, the operator's rules apply. • If we cancel a service because of weather, road closures or another cause beyond your control, we offer to reschedule it, leave the date open for later use, or refund 100% of what you paid for that service. • If you leave a service that has already started for personal reasons, no refund applies for that service. • If you want to cancel outside the free period, we may offer to keep the amount as credit for another activity. • Refunds are made through the same method you paid with, within 10 business days of the cancellation being accepted. 9. TRAVELERS • After payment we send you a link to enter each traveler's details: full name, ID or passport, nationality and date of birth, children included. Providers and transport companies require them. • When booking, let us know about any health condition, allergy or dietary restriction the guide should know about. • Some activities have a minimum age or physical requirements: they are shown on each page. 10.

Frequently asked questions

Does Dexotic sell tickets for the Train to the Clouds and the Solar Train?

Yes. We're official representatives and an authorized sales point for the tourist trains of northern Argentina.

What documents do I need to take the trains?

In addition to the ticket we'll send you, your ID or passport, the same one used to issue the ticket, for children too. The operator checks your nationality and the fare paid against that document.

Can I change or cancel my train tickets?

The train operator's policy applies, as stated on your ticket and on the tour page.

How do I avoid altitude sickness? What if I feel unwell?

Drink plenty of water, eat light, and avoid alcohol the day before; at altitude, walk slowly and rest if you need to. If you have heart or respiratory problems, are pregnant, or are traveling with young children, check with your doctor first. If you feel unwell during the trip, tell the guide: the most effective solution is to go down to a lower altitude.

How far in advance do I need to book? Can I book for today or tomorrow?

We recommend booking in advance, especially during Argentine winter holidays, Easter and long weekends. On the website you can book until 6 pm the day before, unless the tour page shows a different cutoff. To pay by bank transfer you need at least 1 day before the departure. For the same day or outside those hours, message us on WhatsApp and we will check availability.

How do I know if there is availability, and when is my booking confirmed?

It depends on the service, and the tour page tells you before you pay. Services with "Instant confirmation" are confirmed as soon as the payment goes through, and you get the voucher right away. For the rest, your booking is registered when you pay and we confirm it with the provider within a few hours, during business hours. For trains, the ticket is issued by the operator. If there were no availability, we offer you another date, another activity or a full refund. Services on request are booked on WhatsApp: we confirm availability first.

Can I change the date or the travelers, or modify my booking after paying?

Yes, message us on WhatsApp and we will take care of it. For shared group tours and packages, if you let us know 48 hours or more in advance, we change the date free of charge, subject to availability. For private tours and trips we review each case, and for trains the operator's policy applies.

What happens if the tour is canceled due to weather or force majeure?

First, we offer to reschedule it for another date. If you can't, we leave the date open so you can use it later, and if that doesn't work for you either, we refund what you paid.

What payment methods do you accept? Is there a discount depending on how I pay?

It depends on where you are paying from, and you choose it in your order. From Argentina: bank transfer or Mercado Pago, with a credit or debit card or account balance, and up to 3 interest-free installments. From abroad: PayPal, Wise or a card through Mercado Pago, and from Uruguay also Prex. Paying by bank transfer from an Argentine account gives you a discount: the tour page and the cart show the price with each method before you pay. We do not accept cash through the website.

Can I pay from another country or with a foreign card?

Yes. In your order, choose the country you are paying from and you will see the available methods: PayPal (in US dollars), Wise (in US dollars or euros) or a card through Mercado Pago. From Uruguay you can also pay with Prex. If your card is declined, try PayPal or Wise, or message us on WhatsApp.

What happens if I'm late?

There's little leeway, because the vehicle follows a route with other travelers. We'll try to contact you, but if you're not there on time, you may miss the service.

What language are the tours in? Can I request a guide in English or Portuguese?

Tours are in Spanish. English is available on request: let us know when you book. Portuguese is available only occasionally and must be requested in advance.

Can children come? Can I bring a baby? Do you have child seats?

Yes, children and babies can travel on shared group tours. If you need a baby seat, request it when you book and we'll install it. The minimum age for each activity is listed on its page.

Are tours suitable for seniors or people with reduced mobility?

Shared group tours are suitable for seniors; the effort level for each one is listed on the tour page. They're not suitable for people with reduced mobility, due to the type of vehicles.

Do I need to tell you about any health conditions?

Yes. When you book, let us know about any condition the guide should be aware of, such as heart or respiratory problems, pregnancy, or allergies. We use this only to organize the service.

Are tours canceled if it rains?

Generally not: tours run in the rain. During the rainy season, if a road is cut off by flooding and we can't get through, we'll let you know in advance. The forecast often shows rain in the mountains even when it doesn't actually rain, so don't let it scare you.

tome la excursión a Tren a las nubes y muy buena la experiencia! Excelente la atencion de ustedes, los guias, todos la verdad!! Solamente les dejo una observación desde mi punto de vista! Cuando llegue a la estación de Tren, quede un poco desorientado porque no sabía que había que presentar el pasaje del tren en boleterias, tampoco sabia a donde estaban, y me di cuenta porque veía el movimiento de gente que entraba y salia ahí dentro. Nada más que eso, pero un detalle, se los dejo a modo de comentario nomas, no de queja...pero sino todo excelente.

Lindo, un poco caro, muy lindo el recorrido, muy bien organizado, la ruta buenísima y muy linda, imposible perderse, es un único tramo de ida y vuelta con dos carriles, lo q no nos gusto, es que te apunas en el tren por la altura y nadie te avisa nada, creo q tendría que estar advertido, se soluciona llevando hojas o caramelos de coca, asi la pasas bien. El tren tiene restaurante y kiosco, podrian vender la coca tambien. Para mi, fue lindo, pero caro, amigos me avisaron q consiga las hojas de coca y por suerte lleve. Hay medicos a bordo q dan oxigeno y atencion, eso esta muy bueno. Es una visita de una vez para mi.

En septiembre de 2010, vivi la hermosa experiencia de hacer el viaje del Tren de las nubes. La excursión duró todo el dia, salimos a la mañana temprano (6 hs) desde la estación de trenes de Salta capital e hicimos todo el recorrido en el tren. Volvimos a las 22 hs. Un día inolvidable, con paisajes maravillosos y un viaje muy ameno, con entretenimientos en el tren. Y al llegar al viaducto La polvorilla, cuando bajamos del tren, había soldados con una bandera argentina y cantamos el himno. Muy emocionante!!! Me encantaría hacerlo de nuevo!!

Because of problems with the line and bridges, the area travelled by train is now very short. However, this was still an amazing adventure - all of it. Well, except lunch - but that was in such an isolated place that one can hardly complain. I enjoyed the whole day and survived the altitude by using coca leaves, like the locals!

What a great and informative ride. A few years back, this attraction consisted of a very long (over 12 hours) trip from Salta to the Andes. If you are a train lover, then great, but other than that, you´d be stuck inside a train for over 12 hours. Personally, I think the new set-up works best. It also lasts for up to 12 hours, but you get to see a lot more. They changed it up quite a bit. First you take a coach from Salta to San Antonio de los Cobres. The bus makes several stops along the way, during which you can take pictures of the wonderful sights, see the local people, eat breakfast in a small village. Tourism has a social function, and the locals benefit greatly. Then, once you arrive in San Antonio, you get on the train and by the end of 2 hours, you get off at La Polvorilla where the Argentineans will sing the anthem, and great pictures can be taken. At this point you are at over 4000 m, so you´d better be munching on some coca leaves, otherwise you might pass out. On the way back, you get to take in some more spetacular views of the surrounding mountains.

The bus start from the old train station 12 blocks walking from the main square. Leaving 7 am it was still dark and cold. Our first stop was outside Salta were the old steam locomotive was. There are also some locals trying to sell there food warm drinks and souvenirs. Then going trough the wonderful coloured gorge. Stopped for breakfast and drove on to San Antonio de Los Cobres. Arriving there all the locals has stalled out their clothing,souvenirs.Going on the train for the ride of your life. The scenery is great passing the old mine village and travelling up to 4000 meters. Going over the bridge with his great view. Stopping at the top we’re the locals sell there goods again. A great view for taken photos. The train ride is two hours arriving back in San Antonia for lunch. Then driving back to Saltanagain with a great view of all the coloured mountains. It is a full day but worse it.

A lot of people have already written about the day so I don’t think that I need to repeat the agenda and although I am not a train enthusiast and it is not my top pick for the area but I am glad I did the train to the clouds. I enjoyed the day. Why did I enjoy the day - I think that the scenery is lovely- it is great to see the changes as you go higher - the train ride was also enjoyable especially going over the bridge - where the train slowed to enable people to take pictures - I was privileged enough to be there when they did the raising of the Argentinian flag, a moving experience Some things to be aware of: - it is a long day. - You do stop at places may feel are not necessary or for to long, however unless you have a private tour from my travelling this is typical for tour bus trips. - There is the risk that you will not have an English speaking guide- while frustrating and did create some challenges it is part of the experience. We had great guide on the bus who really made an effort but the guide on the train was a complete contrast. This means you miss a bit of the background and sometimes the instructions. Over the bridge you are asked to swap sides - we figured this out however our real challenge was that we had some Portuguese speaking tourists who on the other side refused to move even when specifically asked by the guide. -Take some food and plenty of water. The food is not great on the way and water is a must. - For a person who suffers motions out sickness I was lucky this time but I suggest that if this is you I would probably come prepared. -You go up in altitude fairly quickly - so expect that you may suffer some altitude sickness - my wife and I did. There is an ambulance follows for anyone with extreme problems. - Take some toilet paper and small pesos for the toilets.

El trayecto desde Salta capital hasta San Antonio de los Cobres nos va regalando impresionantes vistas, que van cambiando de acuerdo a la luz del sol. Este pueblo, desde donde parte el tren ahora sólo turístico, parece detenido en el tiempo. El viaducto por donde transcurre el trayecto con sus imperdibles imágenes, y el increíble trabajo de ingeniería. Y la emoción al llegar a destino con la música de Vangelis con el tema “la misión “.

Caro, pero vale cada centavo gastado. Es increíble la variedad de paisajes que podemos encontrar en el recorrido, desde que salimos hasta que llegamos al punto final. Yo contraté el paquete bus-tren-bus y fue lo mejor que pude haber hecho. En cada micro, un coordinador hablando y explicando los lugares que vamos visitando, además de una enfermera a bordo. En mí caso particular, no tuve problemas con el tema de la altura, aunque conviene llevarse unas hojas de coca y dejarlas al costado de la boca sin masticar.

Increible organizacion. Primer nivel. Mucho cuidado a los pasajeros en todo momento. Desde la subida al bus que te lleva aa San Antonio de los cobres hasta regreso a la ciudad de salta. En el bus va un medico y tienen oxigeno por la altura. En el tren ademas de oxigeno disponible hay un vagon enfermeria. La experiencia al cruzar el viaducto a trememda altura es muy emocionante. Al bajar esta lleno de lugareños que ofrecen artesaniaas y torta frita.

Hicimos solamente el tramo de tren (la parte que se hace en micro la recorrimos en auto). El paseo es muy lindo y las vistas son preciosas. Sin embargo, la épica que le ponen es muy pesada, por momentos insoportable. El paseo está bueno, pero por debajo de mis expectativas previas y me pareció demasiado caro para lo que era.

Creo q es muy personal esto. A mí me encantó por lo q significa estar ahí. Es imponente. Entiendo que también puede no significarte nada (como a mi señora q le dio igual ponele). Podes ir en bus+tren desde salta o llegar en auto a la estación de tren de S.A. De los Cobres y allí tomar el tren. Yo hice esta última opción. La ruta a San Antonio es preciosa te regala paisajes únicos. El tren va hasta el famoso viaducto de La foto y vuelve sobre su camino hasta la estación (2hs) es una linda vuelta con vistas impresionantes de altura. Todo el recorrido desde salta te insume un día completo. Hay q ir preparado, agua, coca, comer liviano: la altura se siente fuerte. Hay q ser paciente y cuidadoso en la ruta. Hay q sacar el ticket con antelación, la página oficial esta perfecta, es fácil hacerlo. Yo recomiendo que vayas si realmente es tu sueño o tu deseo conocerlo, como fue mi caso. No te va a defraudar!

Linda excursión para pasar el día. Fuimos en auto y luego tren. En el trayecto en auto tenes muy buenas vistas. En cuanto al tren, me pareció bastante caro para lo que es. Creo que es emblemático de Salta y está bueno hacerlo aunque sea una vez. Pero no vale lo que cuesta.

Es una experiencia única y emocionante. Ir descansado y preparado para la temperatura baja y la altura. Fui en septiembre y la temperatura era de 7 a 10 grados. El servicio del tren es bastante bueno en el sentido de cobertura médica con oxígeno para los que se apunan. Mi consejo es para los que se marean llevar Dramamine, y reliverán sublingual para sentirse mejor (jaja). También apelar a las hojas de coca como aconsejan para disminuir el apunamiento. Pero realmente es único.

Superó ampliamente mis expectativas!!! El paisaje hermoso y el tren expectacular. Muy buena organización de todo el personal. Mucha gente trabajando para cuidar de todos los pasajeros. Enfermeros. Médicos. Guías. Apoyo en la ruta. Muy buen trabajo. Ojalá puedan ampliar el tramo sin perjudicar la economía de los pueblos que se visitan en el camino con el bus!! Imperdible!!
