Teleférico Línea Blanca: Villarroel ↔San Jorge, Aerial gondola station in La Paz, Bolivia.
The Teleférico Línea Blanca is a gondola station connecting Villarroel and San Jorge with modern cable car technology across the city's different elevation zones. The system transports up to 3,000 passengers per hour, functioning as part of a larger urban transport network.
The station opened in March 2018 as part of the second expansion phase of Mi Teleférico, contributing to what became the world's largest urban cable car network. This addition addressed growing transportation demands across the city's neighborhoods.
The station names reflect both Spanish and indigenous Aymara languages, showing how local traditions remain visible in the city's modern infrastructure.
The gondola operates on weekdays from early morning through late evening, making it accessible for commuters throughout the day. The high capacity means short waits even during busy travel periods.
The cable car system operates at extreme altitude, taking advantage of the city's steep terrain in a way few transportation networks worldwide can match. What once required nearly an hour between neighborhoods now takes only minutes.

Bolivia sits in the central Andes, linking mountain ranges, high plateau lands, and lowland rainforests in a landlocked country. The changes in altitude create different climate zones and landscapes, from snow-covered peaks to tropical vegetation. Many visitors start in La Paz, a city that clings to a canyon and where a cable car system moves traffic between neighborhoods. The colonial capital of Sucre preserves its white facades and courtyards from the 1600s, while Potosí sits at the foot of Cerro Rico, a mountain that saw centuries of silver mining. The natural sites range from Lake Titicaca on the Peruvian border to the Salar de Uyuni, an expansive salt flat that turns into a shallow mirror during the rainy season. Madidi National Park protects rainforest in the north, while the Eduardo Avaroa Reserve in the south shows colored lagoons and desert formations. The Tiwanaku archaeological site holds evidence of pre-Columbian civilizations, and the Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos are wooden churches that survive in remote towns. The Valley of the Moon near La Paz forms eroded rocks that resemble lunar landscapes, and Torotoro National Park contains fossils and dinosaur tracks. The journey from La Paz to Coroico passes along the Death Road, a narrow mountain route that descends into the Yungas lowlands.
