The Quebrada de Humahuaca Solar Train (Spanish: Tren Solar de la Quebrada de Humahuaca) is a future 42 km (26.1 mi) regional tourist service that will operate between the cities of Volcán and Tilcara in Jujuy Province, Argentina. It will use the General Belgrano Railway's Ramal C that extends from Santa Fe and La Quiaca.
This branch has an economic importance due to it connects the Argentine ports with the Bolivian railway network apart from being a potentially touristic source of income for Jujuy Province so it extends alongside the Quebrada de Humahuaca, reaching regional cities such as Humahuaca, Purmamarca, and Tilcara.[3]
The service, formerly operated by state-owned Ferrocarriles Argentinos, will be operated by the Government of Jujuy Province, and will be launched as the first solar train in the Americas, and the second in the world after the Byron Bay Train. Although it was expected to be inaugurated in December 2023.[2] the Government of Jujuy finally announced the service will start on March 20, 2024.[1]
