Telêmaco Borba Cable Car, Aerial lift in Telêmaco Borba, Brazil.

Telêmaco Borba Cable Car is a gondola lift running between the city centre and the Harmonia neighbourhood, with a single 1,318-metre span over the Tibagi River at a height of 76 metres. Each cabin carries 32 passengers and offers views of the city, the river and the Klabin paper mill.

The system was established in November 1959 during a period of industrial expansion in the Paraná region of southern Brazil. It was created to meet growing transportation needs as the paper manufacturing industry developed in the area.

The cable car links homes with work areas, showing how the paper industry shapes daily routines and the identity of this city. People use it as a normal part of their day, connecting where they live to where they work.

The cable car is a single line with two terminals, one in the town centre and one in the Harmonia neighbourhood, crossing 1,318 metres of open span over the Tibagi River at a height of 76 metres. Cabins hold 32 passengers. The crossing was once made only by ferry, so the ride replaces a river crossing rather than a city tour.

The ride offers a rare aerial view of paper production operations that few people get to see. Many visitors overlook how clearly the factory layouts and production processes become visible from above.
