    • Three times a week (Wed., Fri. and Sun.), crowds of people horde the Riobamba train station at 6:00am to ride the Nariz del Diablo train ride, the "treacherous" stretch of the former Quito-Guayaquil rail line.

    Yes, a tourist highlight, but it's a great ride and the scenery is unbeatable.

     Very helpful tips, Riobamba looks like a nice town. I've read a lot about that train ride, it sounds interesting. Good local custom tip as well.
