the Góndola Carril heritage tourist train service in Chile


The Góndola Carril is an old bus from the 1920s converted to run on a railway track.

It operates on a 34-km (21 mile) section of the old Central Transandino Railroad, which once connected Los Andes, Chile, with Mendoza, Argentina.

The train service runs between Los Andes and Río Blanco and was traditionally used to transport tourists to the Hotel Portillo. It is a popular tourist attraction in the Los Andes region of Chile.
