Riobamba


There are quite a few activities to choose from in Riobamba - I picked the devil's nose. The devil's nose is a train ride that winds its way down the side of a mountain. It was constructed in 1902 to link the coast with the highlands and judging by the state of track hasn't seen much maintenance since. Infact its so bad that trains are no longer allowed to use it so you make your way down on a bus converted to run on rails.
