Epic PATAGONIAN TRAIN JOURNEY From the ANDES to the SEA! | Argentina by Train (Bariloche to Viedma)

- Today we're taking you on an epic Patagonian train journey from the Andes Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean! The 'Tren Patagónico' or 'Patagonian Train' is one of the best ways to experience the beauty of the Patagonian steppe and we did just that on an overnight journey from Bariloche to Viedma.
We learned about the Patagonian train entirely by chance. A few days prior, we had been hanging out at the Bariloche bus terminal, waiting to catch a connecting bus, and because we had a few hours to spare, Sam went for a little walk with his camera in hand. He saw the train station and decided to go snap some photos, and that’s when he learned about this epic train journey that crosses all of Patagonia, from the Andes to the ocean. We just had to do it, and that’s how a few days later, we found ourselves travelling aboard the Tren Patagónico.
The Patagonian Train has 3 classes: First, Pullman and Camarote. First is actually the cheapest class, Pullman is the one we travelled in, and Camarote is the one with private cabins. In this video, we’re going to show you the Pullman class aboard this train.
The Pullman carriage has reclining seats, a fair bit of legroom, and heat or AC depending on the time of year you’re travelling. During high season, they also have a movie carriage that’s available to passengers in Pullman and Camarote, and it has a disco carriage for those who want to dance the night away as the train chugs across the Patagonian steppe.
This Patagonian train travels from the cities of Viedma to Bariloche, and then back again from Bariloche to Viedma on weekends. It usually leaves Viedma on a Friday, and departs Bariloche on a Sunday - but their calendar does have a few exceptions, so it’s best to check your desired on their official website. Our train left at 5:00 pm and we were asked to be there an hour in advance.
Leaving Bariloche, the train makes stops in many small communities along the way including Pilcaniyeu, Comallo, Clemente Onelli, Ingeniero Jacobacci, Maquinchao, Los Menucos, Sierra Colorada, Ministro Ramos Mexia, Nahuel Niyeu, Valcheta, San Antonio Oeste, Winter, Palacios, and lastly in Viedma. Shortly after departing the station in Bariloche, a staff member went across the carriage asking each passenger’s final destination - that way they know to stop for you and potentially wake you up if you’re getting off in the middle of the night.
I have to say, I loved the scenery on this train journey! We got to witness a magical sunset over the Patagonian steppe paired with ever-changing scenery. We even got to see a bit of wildlife - namely, hares, guanacos, sheep, horses and falcons! The fields were washed in gold with the last rays of day, and it was spectacular.
I’ll quickly mention that you also have the option of eating breakfast on the train, but we chose to sleep a bit longer. Breakfast is probably a better idea for those continuing all the way to Viedma, but we got off before that in San Antonio.
And that was our train journey aboard the Tren Patagonico travelling from the mountains to the sea! We hope you guys enjoyed following along and if you have any questions about how to do this rail journey yourself, leave us a comment below and we’ll be sure to answer.
We’ll see you in the next video from the seaside town of Las Grutas. Bye!

You Two Kids need to Stay There!!!!! The Rest of the Worlds Gone Fricken Nutz!!!!! Enjoying watching you Living. Thanks!!!!!!
Thank you Randy! Greatly appreciate the concern. We filmed this in 2019 so we are home and staying inside in Canada right now.
Beautiful country love to be there one day from Pakistan 🇵🇰
A lovely, and fascinating, video. Thank you! I always think that seeing small towns at night which are asleep but still lit up so romantic:)
Thanks Tony! It certainly was. The whole trip was just passing small little places.
Amazing route of journey...
I wish...
Some day...
Thank you! Hope you can do it soon!
Hola Sam and Audrey, We love you guys! We've been watching your youtubes for at least a year. My wife and I just returned to our home in Sydney Aus (around March 12 2020) literally 4 days before Argentina, Chile and Australia shut their borders and international airports. We had spent 7 weeks in South America, mostly all over Argentina and a bit of Uruguay. We were lucky to have been in Mendoza during their annual wine fest, Vendima, I believe. What a parade in early March! Earlier in Feb we were in BA for several days and of course returned to our mutually loved steak house, Parilla Pena! Without a doubt this is the best steak house on the planet! We just watched your recent youtube made there when you last visited recently, so we immediately recognized the inside and the older waiter (we had him too in March!). Anyway, enjoy your self iso in Canada......Saludos, Paul B
Thank you very much Paul! Great to hear about your trip and sorry it got cut short like that. Hope you can do everything you had planned in the future when it is safe to do so. Long live Parrilla Peña! Saludos!
Absolutely beautiful video ❤️👏👏👍
Nothing else to say only another awesome video love from 🇮🇪☘️😘
Thank you so much Bee! Hoping things improve for everyone soon. This situation is hard right now.
@@samuelandaudrey it is getting bad stay strong and safe
Happy Saint Patrick day love from 🇮🇪☘️😘💚
Looks amazing!
Greetings from home isolation in Bosnia& Herzegovina 😂
All I do is watch your vlogs 😂
Thank you very much! Hoping things improve soon around the world. We're basically in isolation at home in Canada now. Stay healthy and safe.
@@samuelandaudrey Thank you, and I wish you the same!
I was supposed to travel to NYC in 3 days from Belgrade, but I cannot enter Serbia... It's better this way I guess.
Thank you once again for making my time fly ❤️
Hello to both of you, it was a fantastic journey and the picturesque beauty was cherry on the cake..
I love and admire South America 😍😘a lot and wish me that one day (I hope soon) I can travel to Brazil, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay.
Thanks so much for the video again! 👌👍
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
I hope so too!
Trains are so interesting, traveling in train gives us more posibillities to see around 💗
Thanks LeAny! Couldn't agree more! Train travel is our favorite way to get around.
Sam y Audrey
Estoy viendo sus últimos vídeos de Canadá y Argentina.... buenisimo !!! Quiero irrrrrrr!!!!!!
Gracias Juanicande!
Nice Video Samuel and Audrey Ma'am
Thank you sooo much Pranav!
Patagonia looks like a good place to escape - I'm hoping to visit Argentina in 2020! Hope you're both doing well.
Thanks Yousif! That is very exciting to hear.
Looks better than Amtrak! Argentina is one my places to go. I´m from Panama, and the entire South America is just a border away. Argentina, Chile, and Brazil is one my bucket list of countries.
Great video now all I will do at home is watch your videos
Thanks Effie! So glad you are at home and safe now.
Sam and Audrey are amazing travelers. I learned so much from them! Great journey
Thank you very much Sue! This is a train ride we'd highly recommend. One of our favorite of all-time.
Great video friends !! Thanks a lot for showing my Argentina to the World !!
Thank you very much Pablo! We feel so fortunate to have a chance to see Argentina.
This looked like an amazing trip! I wasn't even aware that you could catch a train from the western border of Argentine Patagonia all the way to the east coastal cities! Very cool! Patagonia seems like the ultimate getaway between the great food, amazing views and day trips all along the way as you cover the entire area!
Thank yoU! Apparently this route just opened again in recent years. We end up going back to Argentina for round 2 where we'll show some of those coastal cities as we head south to Ushuaia. That is going to come out on our channel in a couple of months.
Great video excellent camera work, commentary and very cool music
Thank you very much!
Amazing video
Thank you very much!
Dear, you guys!
Hello from Korea again. The beautiful sceneries and wonder landscapes you guys showing makes me calm and peaceful!!! thank you for sharing the moment with me. However, there is crazy epidemic goin on around the world!!! Hope you guys should wear masks and keep away from massive people. Keep safe and have a good one!
Thank you very much TJ! We really appreciate your concern. Fortunately, we did film this in 2019 and right now we are at home self-isolating. Also, we wanted to mention that South Korea is handling this situation better than just about any other country. It is an example for others to follow.
Love this video
Loved it. I haven't been to Patagonia in years but it still good to see the adventurists out there.
Thank you! ONe of our fav train rides ever.
I remember when I traveled from Constitucion to Mar del Plata for more than 5 hours, I met magical people, from a juggler who came down from the roof to the back because he came without paying the ticket to a madman who was drunk on red wine singing folk song in the bottom of the train, in the midst of those crazy cute people came seeing the landscape and enjoying the company.
traveling in a train is magic!!! Colorado sos un crack!
Great to hear about your experience!
Thanks for the info guys. Sounds exciting.
Thanks for watching! I hope you can do the journey one day.
Hi my canadian Friends....and papá DANIEL.....!!! NO vi el video antes porque estaba asando, ya que los domingos es un ritual sagrado...!!! No es por nada pero el asado y cordero estuvo a nivel Dios...con Gancia y morcilla fría de aperitivo y escuchando LED ZEPPELIN.... MAGIC...SUBLIME..me encantaría invitarlos si andan acá...tengo un lindo parque con pileta para recibirlos.....❤❤🙋♂️
Muchas gracias Daniel!
Mi papá de Samuel vio a Led Zeppelin jugar en los años 70. Uno de sus conciertos de rock favoritos de todos los tiempos.
@@samuelandaudrey Seria interesante intro de vídeos de unos minutos solo con musica de fondo con imágenes más lentas...con buen Rock....les aseguro que serían con una energía especial ( AC/DC ...DEEP PURPLE...LEDZEP...BLACK SABBATH..METALLICA..etc.)..soy fanático de SUPERTRAMP....🤪...prueben con THE UNFORGIVEN Metallica...o HELLS BELLS de ac/dc....o al mostrar el norte argentino con EL CONDOR PASA ( melodía peruana )...en fin ..es un pequeño comentario...tengo 51 años ( parezco de 30 Jajaja)pero aun me sorprenden cosas como en mi niñez....y me gusta la innovación en todo....🙋♂️❤❤
The good things about you guys is that you seem to find the beautiful places.
Audrey’s accent when she speaks Spanish 😍💛👌
Ah, thank you!
Great train ride & audrey is very neat lady
Thank you very much Rolando!
The scenery reminds me of the American west- very beautiful.
Thanks Cavius! What a beautiful part of the US!
Que experiencia en el Pata de hierro,agua,arboles bien vestidos,montañas,campo,vacas,ovejas,caballitos,que variedad.un lugar precioso ,les envio un like y este comentario
Gracias Angel!
Hi Audrey and Samuel! Wonderful video, as usual! It's my dream to one day explore Patagonia - especially its wildlife! Actually, it's my dream to explore all of Argentina (and South America, in general)...it's very lofty and I don't know if it will ever happen, but one can dream! :-) I really appreciate your videos, as it feels like a great way to "travel" without leaving home. Warm saludos desde Toronto (from an Argentine-born Canadian who regularly uses Spanglish! ;-) P.S. I watch both of your channels, and wanted to compliment Samuel on his Spanish :-)
Her dad is Argentinian and her mom is Peruvian, and they lived in Argentina when she was a child.
Thank you! Couldn't have said it better myself.
Thank you very much! Hope you are able to do that someday. It is such a beautiful part of Argentina. For our next series we head as far as Ushuaia. We're editing that content right now.
Wow wunderbare gracias amigos
Muchas gracias Bruno!
I love you clearly show landscape passing.
Thank you very much Aruna!
Dinner guest: Can you tell me a little about what we're eating here?
Waiter: Well... this is good, and that is really good! 😂
Thanks for sharing guys!
Hahaha...that is funny!
I dig the awesome sound track man!
Thank you very much Rob!
very interesting
Thanks Iskar!
Big 👍 ..... from lebanon🇱🇧 .... best TH-camRS..... go ahead.... take care from Corona 19....🌹❤
Thank you very much DJ Kassem! Stay safe and home during this time.
Scenery reminds me of the southwestern United States.
Thanks Debra! Kind of like some areas of Nevada or Arizona?
@@samuelandaudrey Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado & Utah.
Maybe that's why Butch Cassidy and his buddy the Sundance Kid felt so at home during their stay in Patagonia, after they fled the US and escaped to Argentina.
I basically comes here to see the train of Argentina
Great to hear! Some fantastic train routes in Argentina.
Patagonia looks so much like Montana...where I am from....wish we had trains like that still...its -16C or 3F and snowy this mid march day
Thanks JF! Very cold where we are in Canada now as well. What a trip that would be! I'd love to see a route through Alberta and Montana.
A very nice video. It inspired me to visit Chile soon. All the best from Germany :):):)
Thank you! That is awesome to hear! We miss Chile.
You two are amazing!! I love watching all of your videos because you put me at ease. Plus you two are so entertaining!! Who needs tv when we have you guys to watch?? Better than television IMO. Stay safe!! Stay healthy. Stay happy!! Hey I have a question....have you seen Prince Harry & Meghan Markle I Canada yet?? Let me know if you ever do. :) They live there now as I'm sure you already know. :)
Thank you very much Darcy! Interesting question! They actually live on the island where I grew up. Unfortunately, we are nowhere near that part of Canada now, so the chances of seeing them are slim.
@@samuelandaudrey Oh how cool. Thank you for replying back. Means a lot. How cool that you grew up on that island. Maybe you guys will run into him one day. When you do, you must film it. Hehe. Samuel you do resemble Prince Harry. Maybe people in Canada will think you are him. LoL 😂😘🙂
well done on pronouncing the local places
Thank you very much Michael!
Audrey, your Spanish is excellent and you pronounce each word like a native.
I speak several language that's why I'm interested in your knowledge. Are you a Latina or you like me have a gift for languages.
In addition I want to commend your pictures
Thanks Radha! She learned at home from her parents who are from Argentina and Peru.
@@samuelandaudrey sweet ! Thank you for your response.
This must have been one of your last trips abroad. Truely interesting
Thanks, yes Argentina was our last big trip abroad.
Terrific video! I realize you are both home in Canada but any hints where your possibly thinking about next, after things get settled? We had to return home a bit early from a trip to India but always thinking where to next!!!
Thanks Julie! Sorry to hear about your trip in India being cut short. We had plans to visit Georgia and Quebec City but both had to be cancelled as well. To be honest travel is not really on our minds at the moment. Just kind of day to day living. We are working hard to get caught up on our huge back-catalog of videos so our channel should be quite active but our actual real-time travels will be zero for the forceable future. How about you?
Nice journey..... too far away from Jakarta, Indonesia
I must do this 1 day :)
15:01 someone is naughty over there? strange noises XD
ha
Ahh it's so beautiful, I wish I could travel it one day, those seats look so comfortable too, its almost like an airplane (with more legroom 😅) and it's extremely cheap
I'm from The Netherlands and let's say a retour Amsterdam to Groningen which is at the north already costs 50 euro, its so expensive here
Btw I was waiting you to show us all the different classes and see the most luxurious one, but guess it was very crowded over there, overall nice video!!
I saw a few video's that showed convincing evidence that after ww2 , Many senior Fascists ( including Hitler and Eva Braun ) escaped to Argentina ; Bariloche was one of the places where he was said to have lived ! There was a small number of people there of German origin who helped to integrate these Fascists into Argentina society .
The video's are well worth a watch.......Thanks for sharing and Stay safe !
Banco Patagonico! Si! You pronounce well Audrey. Were you born in Argentina? or just your dad was. You and I could have a wonderful conversation. I still have the accent. My husband chuckles when I get mad and speak in castellano. So wonderful to see you both having such a great ADVENTURE. God Bless!
Thanks! She learned from her parents.
Audrey's sandwich appeared to be tough, she was pulling hard to get a bite :)
Hahaha...it was a bit tough!
👍🏻❤️👍🏻
Dinner reservation confirmed as you stuff your faces with Hoagies! How the hell did you rally your stomachs for dinner after those? I'm impressed.
Hahaha...our appetites are impressive at times
Hey! This is so cool! Do you know if there is a way to buy a ticket internationally? I live in chile 🇨🇱
Looks like a hell of a lot of fun - nah just looks like hell, now you need 2 days in a civilisation to recover from that wonderful trip.
Thanks Serge! Those overnight bus/train trips do wipe you out.
@@samuelandaudrey Safe travels guys - hope that all is well and that you get home safely and without issue.
Trains, food ,and Argentinian Wine, what else does a person need?
Thanks Francisco! Couldn't agree with you more!
Hello Sam and Audrey. I am planning a trip to Argentina for a milestone birthday. Can you recommend must see sights/locals for two weeks?
Wow! That is really exciting to hear! BA, Mendoza, Bariloche, El Calafate, El Chalten and Ushuaia would be on our short-list. Also, Iguazu Falls!
@@samuelandaudrey Thanks
whats eans penns brother...oh fuck it lmao
watch out for corona, we in europe are under total lock down. no travel or even watching travel vids haha. it sucks big time but thats life. stay safe guys!! little less travel cant hurt
Hoping things improve soon! Stay healthy and safe and in Canada things are shutting down as well.
Yo, is it possible to buy the tickets at the station then and there? Rather than go through this process
Tell us abit more about dinner. How did that unfold and were your dinner guests abit camera shy?
Thanks Michael! We ended up having a nice long conversation. They both spoke English fluently. And then we drank mate until the wee hours of the morning.
4:50 "jewish this is the cult the attendant do"
Oh my gosh the autotranslate went haywire
may i know what kind of camera you have use???
Thanks we use a Panasonic GH5!

Why get off in San Antonio versus continuing to Viedma?
Because we wanted to visit the seaside resort of Las Grutas, so getting off earlier meant less backtracking.
@@samuelandaudrey ahhhh 👍🏾
It is not a good time to travel.....Stay safe.....stay healthy
Thank yoU! We filmed this in 2019. Totally agree with you. Now is a time to self-isolate at home.
How are you guys still travelling with the virus?
All of our videos are usually a few months behind. We're back home now editing these Patagonia videos.
Thanks for clarifying, love your work!
World longest railway network in INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Patagonia looks like the western USA.....
Hey hi Audrey and Samuel I want to tell you I really really was inspired by your video also both of you are adorable she's beautiful and you're handsome and you make a beautiful couple cuz you have the inner beauty and the spirit is so vibrant in both of you I know it's been a year since this has been up but I'm just now deciding where I'm going to go for my graduation of my 11 life path it's been a real journey I might say. Anyway I feel like I know you guys I would love to be in touch with you guys if you have some way to get a hold of you I would like to find it maybe I'll find it I haven't really looked I just found your website right now and I'm really glad I did just so you know I'm going to get my ruins out and I'm going to see where God inside of me wants me to go it'll either be Glastonbury Somerset in the UK or it will be on the train that you took in Patagonia you really inspired me there or I will go to Cuenta Ecuador
I can't wait to get all three manifested maybe I'll just manifest all three and that way they will hardly be anything but the order which is a circle so I'll just circle around I just got to know where to start the train is in a circle what's in front of me is actually behind me if you understand what I mean anyway I hope you read my comment sometime I know it's been a while but maybe you'll get to it I've been amazed and all the responses I get on the comments people are really generous and beautiful that's what I'm searching for beauty in the world this world needs all the beauty it could get and experience. Hope someday I will just be able to run into you guys on one of your journeys I would love to meet you you seem like you'd be the perfect beautiful friends to have on this journey anyway ciao namaste oh. By the way I'm in Colorado springs Colorado
