Train Station
The construction of the railway in Ecuador was one of the engines for the progress of the country, constituting a symbol of National Unity. In 1873, 91 km was put into service from Yaguachi to Milagro, and thanks to the triumph of the Liberal Revolution in 1895, the work was resumed by General Eloy Alfaro Delgado, who continued construction and several years later the project "The most difficult railway" was born. of the world" because it passes through the devil's nose on the Condor Puñana or Condor's Nest hill.
