Rainforest Ecological Train, Tourist train in Iguazu National Park, Argentina

The green-painted train carries 250 passengers through 3.7 kilometers of Misiones rainforest, connecting three stations within Iguazu National Park.

The British company Alan Keef Ltd manufactured the first locomotives and wagons in 1999, initiating service in July 2001 as Argentina's first gas-powered train.

The wooden-seated, open-sided wagons enable passengers to experience the natural environment of Misiones rainforest during the entire journey.

The train service, included in the park entrance fee, reduces walking time between attractions and operates three stations: Central, Cataratas, and Garganta del Diablo.

In 2017, the train system switched to electric locomotives powered by 66 rechargeable batteries, operating at noise levels below 70 decibels.

Location: Misiones Province

Inception: July 2001
