Ecuador’s railways cut through the country’s most impressive landscapes. See the Andes & volcanoes from the train, stopping in beautiful towns along the way. Ride the Devil’s Nose Train, the G&Q Line, and other great railway routes through Ecuador’s spectacular scenery. Today, the Tren Crucero and Devil’s Nose trains carry passengers along a thrilling route through the Andes Mountains, past indigenous villages, condors flying on thermal drafts, and snow-capped volcanoes.
 
Those who have taken the Devil’s Nose train or ridden aboard the G&Q Line will tell you that a train car is the best way to explore Ecuador’s interior. The Devil’s Nose, or Nariz del Diablo, is a train that’s been around for several decades, although it has not always been in operation. Neither had the Tren Crucero, which crossed from Guayaquil to Quito, been operational for some time.
