Teleférico Línea Amarilla, Aerial tramway in La Paz, Bolivia.
Teleférico Línea Amarilla is an aerial cable car system connecting four stations across La Paz with yellow cabins that carry passengers above street level. The line spans a considerable distance and lifts travelers across multiple elevation changes throughout the city.
The line began operating in 2019 and was developed to address transportation challenges in La Paz. It was built as part of a larger network specifically designed for the city's demanding mountainous geography.
The system links different neighborhoods together and creates a shared space for people from various parts of the city. The ride becomes an everyday moment where residents and visitors interact naturally.
The cabins hold multiple passengers and make a complete ride relatively quick. When planning a visit, keep in mind that conditions can vary depending on time of day and weather patterns in the Andes.
The ride offers unobstructed views of the surrounding Andean peaks, providing an unusual perspective on the city from above. Many visitors do not realize they are simultaneously supporting a significant reduction in vehicle emissions.
