The Medellin Cable Car
Location:
Acevedo Station
Medellín, Colombia
Other Activity
Can you imagine a more delightful and relaxing way to make your daily commute to work than by a cable car that drifts over the rooftops? In Medellin this dream for commuters is a reality.
Building a metro to run up the valley wall into the poorer barrios of the city was a logistical impossibility, so the powers that be in Medellin came up with a novel idea: they built a cable car that connects these districts with the main metro line at Acevedo station. From Acevedo the cable car runs through two stations, Andalusia and Popular, before reaching the end of the line at Santo Domingo Savio and then commencing the return journey. The trip over the less affluent barrios of Medellin is a great introduction to the issues that still haunt the city. Hop on or off you and will find a willing local ready to chat, share some wisdom, and point out the sights of the city from up high.
Getting There
Catch a metro to Acevedo station and make the connection to the cable car there.
Travel Tips: Take a camera to snap shots of the city from Santo Domingo Savio
Price Description: The cost of the cable car is included in the price of a metro ticket - $0.70
Relative price: Very cheap
