Two Who Trek likes all forms of transportation, with railroads being a favorite. So when we had an opportunity to ride an Ecuadorian train, we jumped at the chance.
Ecuador has a national railroad system called “Ferrocarriles de Ecuador”. There are ten train routes in Ecuador, primarily from Quito, and running up and down the western coastal area. The longest route is 98 kilometers long (about 60 miles). Two Who Trek had the opportunity to ride the shortest one roundtrip (3.5 kilometers or about 2.2 miles each way) from El Tambo to the pre-Incan ruins at Coyoctor. We will be posting more on the ruins later, but because Joe likes trains, this post is focusing on the rail travel part.
