Will Smith appeared to be making the most of his time in Ecuador on Tuesday as he explored various different cities while filming a National Geographic documentary.
While preparing to take viewers across more remote destinations for season two of Welcome to Earth, which he produces and narrates himself, the 53-year-old actor was spotted touring the streets of Alausi, a canton in the province of Chimborazo.
Locals and tourists were thrilled to see the Oscar winner, who blew kisses to fans as he boarded a train from the famous Nariz del Diablo (Devil’s Nose) to Sibambe.

The ride is considered one of the world’s most dangerous train rides due to its route on an overhanging cliff that drop hundreds of feet as well as winding turns and steep incline.
During his excursion, Smith wore a bright yellow long sleeve and beige baseball cap.
According to the Ecuador Rail’s website, the feat of engineering got its nickname ‘because of the many deaths among the workers that occurred there and the sheer difficulty of building it.’

Around 2,000 men are estimated to have died while constructing the rail, located on the troublesome mountainside with nearly perpendicular walls.
The father-of-three previously showed off his adventurous side while climbing the top of the highest building in the world, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, which stands at 2,722ft and is 160 floors.
Past episodes of Welcome to Earth have shown the star exploring an active volcano in the Pacific and kayaking down an Icelandic whitewater river.

Will slapped Chris at the Oscars for making a bald joke onstage about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, who shaved her head because she has alopecia.
Less than an hour after his outburst, Will was awarded the best actor Oscar and received a standing ovation for his tearful speech in which he called himself a protector of his family and expressed a desire to be a ‘vessel of love.’

Although he apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees during his speech, he did not issue a public apology to Chris until the following day.
Before the Academy could decide what punishment it should impose for the incident, Will resigned from the organization.
Although his departure meant he could no longer vote for the Oscars, he at that point was still able to attend the show.
However the Academy has since imposed a 10-year ban on his attending the ceremony, though he can still be nominated to win an Oscar.
