It's the perfect place to come, get a feel for the local flavor, and maybe pick up a carved tagua nut as a souvenir. Another market that's well loved is the Guamote market, in which the native Quechua people come on Thursdays to sell their handmade wares and homemade food.

Now it can be considered to be a beautiful trip through winding mountains, with lovely scenery as well as drops and lots of twists and turns. The train stops for an hour and a half where you can buy souvenirs, watch an ethnic dance (for a fee of course,) and pay for a picture for a llama. It's fun for kids but there's not all that much on the stop. It's still a fun ride, if you like trains and enjoy mountain scenery.
