Tren de las Sierras travel guide
Understand
The train runs on the old narrow gauge line between Córdoba and La Rioja. It was temporarily shut down in 2001 but operations resumed in 2007, since 2008 it has been running again as far as Cosquín. In 2025, you can switch trains in Cosquín and continue on to la Cumbre, San Esteban, and Capilla del Monte (click here for schedule). The route has been used by modernized diesel railcars since the 1960s.
Getting there
1 Córdoba railway station, Blvd. Pte. Gral. Juan Domingo Peron 101, Córdoba. It's a 15-minute walk east from Plaza San Martin (updated Sep 2025)
Go next
In Cosquin you can do several tours. The most worthwhile thing is climbing the Cerro Pan de Azúcar, which is about 4 km to the east of the locality and from which there is a view of almost the entire Punilla valley and on the other side as far as Cordoba. There is a chairlift for the last few meters, the path there is sometimes very steep (but safe). Worthwhile destinations in the area are La Falda, La Cumbre, Los Cocos and Capilla del Monte, which are very easy to reach by bus. The bus station in Cosquín is directly opposite the train station.
