Tren a las Nubes, Mountain tourist train in Salta Province, Argentina
The Train to the Clouds operates on railway tracks crossing 29 bridges, 21 tunnels, and 13 viaducts through the northern Argentinian Andes mountains.
The railway construction started in 1899, with the first section inaugurated in 1924, involving Josip Broz, who later became the president of Yugoslavia.
