Riding the OLD PATAGONIAN EXPRESS (La Trochita) 🚂 | Scenic Train Ride in PATAGONIA, Argentina

- It’s time for another train ride! Today we’re taking you for a fun little excursion aboard the Old Patagonian Express. If this feels like a bit of deja vu, that’s because yes, this is our second time riding this iconic train. But, this time around, we’re going to be doing a different segment of the journey because we just like trains so much. So join us as we spend a beautiful afternoon soaking in the Patagonian landscapes aboard an old steam locomotive train.
So to give you a bit of information about this train, the Old Patagonian Express is locally known as La Trochita, which means little gauge. That’s because it’s a narrow gauge railway that’s only 750 mm wide, or about 2 feet 5 and a half inches.
This railway network once stretched out 402 kilometres and it was built to help connect Patagonia, however, its use eventually began to decline as the road systems improved, plus part of the railway network was never completed, which kind of left this line a bit isolated.
But then things changed when Paul Theroux published his book The Old Patagonian Express in in 1979. Suddenly, travellers started to take interest, and well, today a short portion of the original railway operates this scenic heritage train.
The route we travelled was from El Maitén to Desvío Bruno Thomae, which is a 26 kilometre journey. However, the more popular route is from Esquel to Nahuel Pan, which we documented in a previous video. On both train journyes we had guides on board sharing the history of the train and answering passengers’ questions about the Old Patagonian Express.
We hope you enjoy this train ride and if you'd like to see the previous ride, here the link to that: • The OLD PATAGONIAN EXP...

Any fellow TRAIN TRAVEL enthusiasts?! 🚂🤪 What's one memorable TRAIN ROUTE you've been on and WHERE was it?! 🗺️📍🚆
Devil's nose in Ecuador, we loved every minute!
That looks amazing!!! I hadn't heard of this train before, but the scenery looks epic. Thanks for sharing!
Walhalla narrow gauge railway in Australia.
The Durango and Silverton Railroad in Colorado is an incredible train journey with breathtaking scenary.
Hi, from the UK. My most memorable train route was onboard the Rocky Mountaineer from Calgary yo Vancouver. The scenery was amazing ! All being well with the world we plan on returning next year to visit Nova Scotia and Cape Breton.
I'm actually learning English with their videos guys, I love you so much. Thanks for showing us these magical adventures around the world. Grettings from Venezuela. ♥
Thanks Christopher! All the best with your studies :)
We also love train rides but we've never done anything like this. Looked like such a cool experience 🚂😄
It was a lot of fun! We like to ride trains any chance we get. We also got to go on the Train to the End of the World in Ushuaia - how could we not with a name like that?! 😄
Excellent train ride! Beautiful scenery! As you said, postal perfect!
Thanks Ale! We just love riding those vintage trains!
Beautiful scenery guys
Thanks Effie! We were spoiled that day.
The Clouds in this video are STUNNING.
Beautiful expansive vistas ....
Thanks Rick! We got spoiled witht he weather that day!
Indeed!
They have a "narrow gauge" train not far from where I live in Michigan. It's called the Huckleberry Railroad and it runs a route about 4 miles long, which is a very small section of the origiinal route it ran in the 1800's. No mountain scenery in SE Michigan, but it is a nice ride through the woods, the historic village, and past a nice lake. We were warned about the windows being shaken closed too, when this old train shakes, rattles, and rolls
That is so cool to hear Susan!
We travel with you and the gladdest moment is a departure through your video into unknown lands........thank you!!!!!!
Thank you!
I travelled on the Trochita in January 1974 from Ing. Jacobacci to Esquel. The train departed very early in the morning and arrived with the last light. Paul Theroux´s description was accurate and very emotive for me.
Oh, wow, you got to do the full route! That must have been an incredible journey and what great memories to look back on. 😊
Thanks for showing us one of the iconic train journeys in the world. UNESCO should accord this train ride as world heritage site. Every traveller & tourist should keep this train ride in their bucket list.
Thanks for watching! It really is one of the gems of Patagonia. We also rode the Train to the End of the World in Ushuaia, and that was another epic ride that we'll be sharing later on.
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
Oh wow how beautiful 😍 the scenery is absolutely gorgeous guys
Thanks Angie! We were sure spoiled by it.
This ride is unique even in winter !! Thank you for wonderful memories 🤗
Thanks Adrian!
Goshhh the views from the train is too majestic 😍 guys you also went such nice cafes. Lovely vlog guys. Cheers to adventure ❤
Thanks Banshan! We could have been on that train all day long.

Thank you veyr much!
@@samuelandaudrey You're more than welcome!
경치가 너무좋아요 😂
Outstanding
Thanks Rex!!!
I always look forward to your videos and after getting through every video from the very beginning, which took a while. I Got a notification for a new video and the trains seem like a very cool experience, be safe and I can't wait for new videos
Oh, man, that's something like 9+ years worth of videos! Thanks for watching along, Justin!! Also, how long did that take?!
@@samuelandaudrey I definitely was a lot of times to put in watching the videos but since I've been on short term disability from work I've had all the Time in the World to watch your videos and this like the other ones are entertaining and informative so thanks for letting us come along with you
Edit: I'm gonna say it might have been from dec to recent watching multiple a day
Well, thank YOU for sticking with us...even through all the early, shaky camcorder footage from back in the day!
@@samuelandaudrey we are all amateurs at the beginning of anything we get a passion for then we become pros at it like you are now but it just adds character to the early vids lol Plus you see how much you've grown in the videos
Thank you a fantastic vlog as usual I think your all fantastic
Thank you very much Matthew!
Looks like East San Diego County in the winter, after that it all turns brown. I'd be interested to see what Patagonia looks like in the winter.
COol to hear! Would love to visit San Diego someday.
Hola amigos soy Rubén de tigre y si choripan y la trochita un clásico Patagónico !! De seguro un cordobés metió la cola en la zona !! Saludos chicos y un gran abrazo a Daniel
Y me encanta como hablan inglés !! Los miro igualmente es Tremendo
Fabulous scenery. Great to hear your opinion and comparison on other journey. Amazing filming. I like seeing the cafes and the way you show us round. Is this recent or a year or more back. Please tell me it is today. I hope you have escaped from Canada. Some of the clips I have seen of Canada look awful. Seems like Canada has become a police state run like a dictatorship. I hope your dad is ok. I hope he is not getting bullied in Canada or regretting leaving Argentina. I hope things are well with you guys and you are travelling again. Great video as always.
Good morning my friends ⬆️🔝
