Latin America: Rail journeys

Ask the expert

"Train travel is an experience in itself, making the journey part of the experience, rather than just trying to reach the destination. At times, you can't go any other way – for example, the Train Crucero descends the Devil's Nose switchback through the Andes with incredible scenery, which just can't be done via road. A train journey is much more comfortable when travelling longer distances. Unlike road journeys, where you can't walk around, the train has everything you need on board already, and offers more flexibility.”
