A near-vertical Andean spur that early 20th-century engineers conquered with a daring series of railway switchbacks, long considered a marvel of mountain railroading. The zigzag descent from Alausí drops around 500 meters into the Chanchán gorge, with condor's-eye views from the Sibambe station platform below.
