The Devil's Nose Train Ride is a famous train journey in Ecuador that takes visitors on a scenic trip through the Andes Mountains. The train ride covers a distance of about 12 km and reaches an altitude of 2,300 meters.

The railway line, which was completed in the early 1900s, was an engineering marvel of its time, with steep inclines and hairpin turns. The route gets its name from the section known as "The Devil's Nose," where the train descends a nearly vertical cliff face with the help of switchbacks.

The journey starts in the small town of Alausi and takes about 2-3 hours to complete. Along the way, passengers can enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, as well as get a glimpse of the rural way of life in the Andes.

The Devil's Nose Train Ride is a popular tourist attraction in Ecuador and offers visitors a unique way to experience the country's stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.
