Tips from the community

The Train to the Clouds is a long day trip but an experience I am inclined to give five stars. Buses arrive back in Salta around 8 PM. By this point, you’d be congratulated for championing through the soaring heights of the Altiplano without dozing off; the highest altitude reached on the bus leg of the journey is 4,800 meters. Overall, the trip is a captivating way to experience multiple Andean destinations magically wrapped into one unhurried outing.
