Devil’s Nose Railroad (Nariz del Diablo)

Carved into the heart of the Andes Mountains and departing from the village of Alausi, Ecuador’s historic Devil’s Nose Railroad (Nariz del Diablo) is a testament to both natural beauty and human ingenuity. The railway, which once navigated the steep slopes and sharp turns of the Andean landscape, offers a glimpse into the region’s rich history. Although the train is currently closed, visitors can still immerse themselves in the area’s outstanding scenery and vibrant local culture, making it a compelling destination for those interested in the intersection of engineering and nature.
