    If you like to travel and enjoy the scenery this tour I recommend! I really liked every detail, breakfast in a small town, and the stunning scenery, once in San Antonio the train journey was magical, very short in my opinion but worth all the hours traveling to get to the site. The company very professional, the whole trip equipped with help buses, satellite tracking and ambulance throughout the trip. One hundred percent recommended! If you don’t like to travel long hours, don’t take it, if you don’t like magical landscapes while traveling, don’t take it. Everything and every detail very well planned! I RECOMMEND!!

    An experience to live once in a lifetime. To clarify it is a bus and train journey. During the day you travel until you reach San Antonio de los Coppers. It is exciting the train journey..

    Se trata de una experiencia única. El tren avanzando entre los cerros, con una vista espectacular. Sugerencia: comer liviano sin lácteos para no tener problemas con la altura. Es muy conmovedora la ceremonia de izado de la bandera con al canción Aurora.
