Telêmaco Borba Cable Car

Telêmaco Borba Cable Car is an aerial transport system spanning the municipality with multiple stations where passengers board. The route carries people over residential areas and industrial zones, providing views of paper production facilities and surrounding forests during the journey.

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 operates from multiple stations throughout the city with regular service throughout the day. Early morning rides offer less crowded conditions and clearer views of the landscape below.

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.
