One of the big attractions here in Salta is to take the train up the mountains to San Antonio de Los Cobres.the train was built to service the mining industry & goes through 21 tunnels, over 29 bridges and across13 viaducts.
Unfortunately a ticket cost about £120 and most of our group felt that was simply too much. Instead we hired a mini bus and driver and guide and followed the route of the train by travelling the Carretera a las Nubes. It also cost a fraction of the train price.

Our journey took us up to 13845ft and once again we passed through amazing scenery through the Eastern Andes onto the Alto Plano,- the flatter area between the Western and Eastern Andes, also called the Puna.
