TelefériQo, Aerial lift on Pichincha Volcano, Ecuador.
The TelefériQo cable car system extends across 2.5 kilometers of the Pichincha Volcano slopes, rising from 3,117 to 3,945 meters above sea level.
The TelefériQo opened in 2005 as part of a development project to increase tourism and provide access to the mountain areas surrounding Quito.
Local residents and international visitors gather at Cruz Loma viewpoint to observe the traditional Andean agricultural practices on the mountain slopes.
Adult tickets cost $8.50 for a round trip, and visitors should arrive early in the morning to avoid afternoon clouds that often block the views.
The cable car system leads to hiking trails that continue toward the summit of Rucu Pichincha, where travelers can spot numerous Andean peaks.
