About
San Antonio de los Cobres station sits about 3,776 meters above sea level on Ramal C-14, the high-altitude railway built to connect northern Argentina with the Pacific. The line is better known to visitors through Tren a las Nubes, whose current rail section starts here and continues to the La Polvorilla viaduct.
The station is part of the town's railway heritage and has been included in restoration plans for historical and cultural use. The altitude is the practical detail that matters most. Arrive with time to move slowly, especially when transferring from a road vehicle to the train.
