Río Mulato Station
Río Mulato is a key point on the corridor: this is where the branch line towards Potosí historically splits off. It is one of the shared stations served by both trains — the Expreso del Sur and the Wara Wara del Sur both stop here.
Set on the open puna at 3,700 m, Río Mulato marks the final stretch before Uyuni. Its railway importance made it a key junction of the southern Bolivian Andean network.
