This video is aimed at rail enthusiasts and shows railway aspects of the 4 day, 3 night Tren Crucero (train cruise) from Quito to Guayaquil, Ecuador. The journey was one of the best travel experiences we have ever had. The train is brand new. The coaches are very comfortable, the service impeccable, the routing is through amazing vistas, viewing Ecuador's volcanoes, beautiful small towns, children waving excitedly as you go by, hard working people in traditional dress tending the fields, dogs racing after the train, cows, pigs,and llamas grazing near the tracks. All are things you do not see on the regular tourist trail. You do not sleep on the train but in lovely haciendas, each different and offering quaint rooms with baths and good food. Lunch is at other haciendas or catered by the villages and places that you pass. All food and most drinks are included in the price. The tour guides were knowledgeable about the train, people, and countryside. They were friendly, personable, switching from Spanish to English easily, and helpful. At two places the diesel locomotives are switched for different restored steam locomotives, which makes the whole train cruise even more special. We had a great holiday in Ecuador and met an interesting group of international visitors. Do not miss Tren Ecuador! We travelled to Ecuador with Sunvil Traveller in the UK. www.sunvil.co.uk
