The "Trenes Turísticos" brand, will group together all the railway services of this type that operate throughout Chile. Although currently quite depressed as a means of people transportation, since 1850 when the construction of the first Chilean railway began, trains were part of the construction of the country. The trains have been of great contribution in the transport of minerals in Northern Chile and in the development of each corner of the South. The challenge today is to develop a Railway Tourism as a new tourist product, framed under the brand "Trenes Turísticos", an initiative supported by the National Plan for Sustainable Tourism, carried out by the Undersecretariat of Tourism, State Railways (EFE), SERNATUR regional offices, entrepreneurs of the regions involved and The Railway Museum of La Araucanía Region.
The new tourist trains will be ten, running between January and March, but there are also offers throughout the year, operating in 7 regions of the country, with 11 travel alternatives. In addition, the project will continue to grow in 2017, as a new project will be added along a stretch of the Arica - La Paz railway, specifically between Arica and the town of Poconchile, a 40 kilometers route through the Valle de Lluta. Many of these trips also include tastings on board the train, transfer by bus and guided visits to tourist attractions in the area, some of the alternatives are:
