Riding on the top of a train through Ecuador.
We really enjoyed Ecuador! Such a beautiful, friendly country. But its travel network is a bit primitive, we had to ride on the roof of a freight car during one leg of our journey to Peru. It was a beautiful train ride through the Andes and no one fell off. The route includes a famous ridge called "Nariz del Diablo" (Devil's Nose), which included two "V" switchbacks that were carved into the cliff wall. It was wild to be on the roof of the train as it pulled into the switchback, then proceeded to traverse the cliff backwards on the lower track.
Pulling into the first switchback.
About to proceed backward on the lower track.
