Teleférico de las Barrancas del Cobre, Aerial lift in Divisadero, Chihuahua, Mexico

Teleférico de las Barrancas del Cobre is an aerial cable car at Estación Divisadero in the Copper Canyon of Chihuahua, Mexico. It runs 3 kilometers at a height of 400 meters and carries 500 people per hour. It was inaugurated on 25 September 2010 at a cost of 250 million pesos.

The cable car system began operations in 2010 as part of efforts to develop tourism in the Copper Canyon region. Its opening created a new way to experience the landscape across the canyons.

The cable car was inaugurated on 25 September 2010 and cost 250 million pesos, a public works project at Estación Divisadero. Its 3 km route carries up to 500 people per hour above the 400-metre drop, so a ride takes only minutes. The name Barrancas del Cobre refers to the copper-toned walls of the canyon system it crosses.

The cable car runs from the Divisadero station and covers 3 km at a height of 400 m, with a capacity of 500 people per hour. Boarding is at the station; the ride has no intermediate stops. The cabins are enclosed, and the return trip uses the same line.

From the cable car, you see three different canyons at once: Copper Canyon, Tararecua Canyon, and Urique Canyon stretching out beneath you. This vantage point shows the scale and shape of the canyon system in a way you cannot experience from the ground.
