The Luxury Train Club Presents the Latest Addition to the Club: Ecuador’s Tren Crucero
Chippenham, WIltshire, UK (PRWEB) July 25, 2013 -- The Luxury Train Club has just introduced Ecuador’s Tren Crucero to its Members, making it the third rail travel option featured in South America, the other two being in Peru.
Tren Crucero, operated by Ferrocarriles del Ecuador Empresa Pública, takes passengers across Ecuador´s Andes watching the transition from moorlands, through cloud forests, to tropical coastal landscapes.
The railway travels along the ‘Avenue of Volcanoes’, a range of more than 10 volcanoes over 3,600 m/12,000 ft; Tungurahua volcano is still active, 5,023 m/ 6,480 ft. There are 450 kms/280 miles of scenic train ride, climbing to 3,600 m/12,000 ft and descending to sea level during the trip. Along the route, there are several opportunities to meet Andean and coastal indigenous communities and witness their way of life.
Steam locomotives from the beginning of the 20th century will run on 2 different stretches. The carriages are First Class, decorated in Ecuadorian style, with historical references; train crew ensure exceptional on-board service.
Itineraries vary from one to three nights, the nights being spent in selected hotels whilst the travel is on the train.
Simon Pielow, of the Luxury Train Club, says, "Stunning scenery and a cruise with exciting off-train visits - Tren Crucero will be a winner with our members."
