Ferrocarril Central Andino.

This station serves as a gateway to one of the world’s most ambitious engineering feats: a high-altitude railway that climbs deep into the Peruvian Andes. Designed in the late 19th century by Ernest Malinowski, the line remains a marvel of Victorian-era industrialism, utilizing 21 switchbacks and dozens of tunnels and bridges to navigate the vertical terrain. While the station itself reflects the era's architectural style, the real draw is the rare tourist service to Huancayo. This journey reaches heights of over 15,000 feet, making it one of the highest rail routes on the planet. Travelers stop here to begin a slow, dramatic ascent past snow-capped peaks and through the Galera Tunnel, experiencing a rugged, high-alpine landscape that few other locomotives can access.
