Salta Trip Overview
We propose a unique and special trip that combines its services in two sections: National Route 51, with photographic stops at panoramic points of sites “stopped in time” and then embark on the magical experience of the TRAIN TO THE CLOUDS, which manifests itself in everything its splendor upon arriving at the imposing viaduct in the Andes mountain range.
We not only combine landscapes and sensations, but also stories and experiences, which lead us to relive the epic of railway construction, back in the year 1920 initiated by Engineer Richard Fontain Maury, alma mater of the project, as well as knowing villages detained in the time in harmonious coexistence with the mountain.
