Funicular de Santiago, Historical funicular railway in Providencia, Chile.
The funicular connects Plaza Caupolicán at Pío Nono entrance with the summit of Cerro San Cristóbal through a cable transport system on steel tracks.
The funicular opened on April 25, 1925, under President Arturo Alessandri Palma, with its first station built using stone extracted from Cerro San Cristóbal.
The National Council of Monuments designated the funicular as a National Historical Monument in 2000, recognizing its engineering and transportation legacy in Santiago.
Visitors can purchase combination tickets that include unlimited access to the funicular, cable car, and panoramic buses throughout the Parque Metropolitano.
The medieval tower-style station, designed by architect Luciano Kulczewski, incorporates stone materials from the same hill where the funicular operates.
