Chicamocha National Park cable car

The Chicamocha cable car system extends across 6.3 kilometers of canyon, offering views of the 2000-meter deep geological formation and surrounding landscapes.

The cable car infrastructure, completed in 2009, required Russian helicopters and hundreds of mules to transport materials for twenty-nine support columns across challenging terrain.

The cable car system represents a combination of Colombian engineering expertise and French technological innovation in the Santander department of northern Colombia.

The cable car operates with variable schedules between seasons, accommodating eight passengers per cabin for journeys lasting between 22 and 30 minutes.

Each of the twenty-nine support towers, measuring 25 meters in height and weighing two tonnes, contains sensors monitoring environmental conditions including wind velocity.
