Recognized as the “Leading Luxury Train in South America” in 2017, you can experience the wonders of Ecuador on board the Tren Crucero (“Cruise Train”). The outcome of a quarter of a billion-dollar national railroad investment, upscale Ecuadorian trains carry passengers across the country between various destinations in the Andes and as far as the coast (traveling between Quito and Guayaquil).
The most stunning in vintage transportation, some of the legs of this journey use restored wagons from 20th-century steam locomotives. The classic train will take you on an exceptional voyage snaking through various locales and ages of the Ecuadorian past and present. All of these convoys feature four different coaches, each with its own thematic style reflecting Ecuador’s history and culture.
Upon your arrival at the first train station, a professional crew will await you with the warmest welcome and will accompany you throughout the journey, offering unmatched service to you and the other 53 guests aboard. Top hotels at every stop have been carefully chosen to provide you with the comfort, attention and service you require on this exquisite journey. All meals are served in local restaurants or in the hotels where you will spend the night, though two of the train’s wagons have tables and chairs, like a dining car, where light snacks and drinks are served.
