San Rafael is a cocoa plantation. We learned about Ecuadorian chocolate.
At the ranch there was also a restaurant where we ate lunch. After lunch we walked around the grounds where there was a lake and horse stable. Then we got on the bus to get on the train for the last part of the journey.
Once back on the train we continued toward the coast. Before long we arrived in a small town where we needed to switch back to the steam engine for the final portion of the train ride.
Here in the town we had a chance to walk around and see the sights.
Once the engines were switched, we got back on the train. There was a good-bye party with musicians.
All too soon, our train trip was over. We arrived at Duran train station. We got on a bus. We were driven to our hotel. It was very sad to leave all our new friends, the beautiful accommodations and delicious food of the train.
