There are frequent connections to Riobamba.

[edit] By Train

The scary ride full of switchbacks, Nariz del Diablo (The Devil's Nose), is just outside Alausi. You can take this ride either on a normal train coming from Riobamba or you can try to join one of the tour groups and their private train for about $20. Just go to the railway station in the morning and ask around.

[edit] Get around

It's a really small town so walking is usually the best option.

There is a big statue of Saint Peter on top a hill close by. The views are nice from this statue.
