Arica to La Paz by train (Chile / Bolivia)

A journey from Arica on the Pacific coast of Chile to La Paz, capital of Bolivia, high in the Andes. This line was once a busy freight link to Bolivia, and had adhesion and rack sections.

A stunning ride where we climb over 12,224 feet as we ascend to the Altiplano in our Bolivian railcar.

Part of a longer trip in Chile and Bolivia organised by Ffestiniog Travel in November 1997.

Preveo viajar en Chile el verano próximo y me preguntaba si todavía era posible tomar el ferrocarril Arica-La Paz. El viaje en ferrocarril me parece magnífico... Leí en internet que había todavía un viaje cada semana que tomaba a pasajeros además de las mercancías. Sabe alguien si es verdadero? Tan sí, cuánto tiempo toma el viaje y cómo podemos reservar nuestro billete?

Gracias por la información! Saludos de Montréal!
