Devil's nose

For the first time I got the chance to take the train from Riobamba that is the most famous in Ecuador

The view is very nice along the track as we made our way down to the Devil's nose.




This top in the middle is supposed to be the face of the devil and because so many people died during the railway construction they started to call it the Devil's nose. The train is going down in a zigzag way, backwards and forwards to manage to get down the mountain.

Part of the zigzag track where you come down the left track and when the last wagon passes the Y cross the stop and reverse the train down the right track.

Tryed to get some nice view picks from the back window but this damn old tourist thought he was the only one on the train and stayed glued to the window.

At the station in the Devil's nose we had a bad cup of coffee while looking at the train museum that was small and nice and outside in the bushes there were a lot of these bugs.
