Estación Maripérez, Cable car station in Maripérez district, Caracas, Venezuela.
The station contains a return drive wheel measuring 5.5 meters in diameter and connects directly to the Ávila station through a modern cable system.
Constructed in the 1950s during Marcos Pérez Jiménez's government, the station underwent complete reconstruction in 2000 after remaining inactive throughout the late 1970s.
The original architectural design by Alejandro Pietri represented the modernist vision of Venezuelan infrastructure development in the mid-twentieth century.
Located on Maripérez Main Avenue facing Boyacá Avenue, the station operates with both primary electrical power and an auxiliary diesel engine for emergencies.
The station transformed from its original name to Estación Waraira in 2007, marking the first of five original stations in the Caracas tourist cable car system.
