Teleferico de Caracas, Cable car system in Caracas, Venezuela.
The Teleferico de Caracas connects the capital city to the summit of El Avila Mountain through a 3.5-kilometer aerial route across El Avila National Park.
President Marcos Perez Jimenez inaugurated this transportation system in September 1955, operating continuously until the late 1970s when technical issues forced its closure.
The cable car stations exhibit architectural designs by Venezuelan architects Tomas Jose Sanabria and Alejandro Pietri, representing mid-century Venezuelan engineering excellence.
The journey from Mariperez station to the mountain summit takes 15 minutes, with operating hours from Wednesday to Friday 12:00-20:00 and weekends 10:00-21:00.
From the summit station, visitors see both the Caracas urban landscape on one side and the Caribbean Sea coastline on the opposite side.
