| Page Views: 262 Last Visit to Riobamba: August, 1996 | Come with me on a ride to heaven by Luchonda - last update: Apr 12, 2003 |
Get up early morning and drive to the station in Guamote.
A train to heaven will await you.
A trip never to forget.
It was cold outside - but inside - a tension warmed up ! What will we see - is it save ?
The autoferro is in fact a bus - builded on a trainbase. |
|  | The 94 train leaves the station 2° class is the inside - first class is the roof.
This train is a way of transport for the locals to get to the market of Guamote !! |
| | Autoferro number 94 The locals invited us to sit on the roof of the train.
Quiet unusual no ? |
| | Number 94 Up and away - as i said - early morning - it was rather cold.
But the riding to heaven would take a few hours - and the sun came up.
The panoramic views - never to forget. |
| | Train number 94 The train took us to the famous "Nariz del Diablo" - the Nose of the Devil.
On the left side of the train - there was not that much space ! But oké -keep the nose up and you will survive ! |
| | View from autoferro 94 Isn't this fantastic !
Remind you on the fact that i'm from Belgium - "Le plat pays" like the singer J.Brel said.No mountains in Belgium. |
| | Autoferro 94 The final stop of this ride to heaven.
A local market !
I hope you enjoyed my trip - go to Rio Bamba and take the train to heaven - only for a few hours and come back to reality |

Great travelogues, Luc. I tried to get close to Chimborazo but it was engulfed in clouds. Looks beautiful from your photo! | sachara Sun Nov 19, 2006 18:41 UTC
I enjoyed also the amazing ride at the rooftop of the autoferro passing the "Nariz del Diablo". The mountainbike ride sounds great as well ! | Maillekeukeul Fri Apr 29, 2005 10:03 UTC
