Teleférico de Caracas
The Teleférico de Caracas is a gondola lift that ascends El Ávila Mountain within El Ávila National Park, in Caracas, Venezuela.
==History==
It was inaugurated on April 19, 1952, by the Past President Venezuela, General Marcos Pérez Jiménez. It remained open until the end of the 1970´s. A series of fruitless attempts to reopen it in 1986, 1988, and 1990 each ended in closing it. In 2000, the national government gave a concession to the Inversora Turística Caracas´Company, which was to reopen the tramway to coincide with rebuilding the Humboldt Hotel and the Magic Park of Avila (Mágico Avila ) (El Avila National Park).
In 2000, the reconstruction of the cableway system began, as well as the one of the stations, and the cable cars are now operating. Nowadays there are more than 70 tram cars which can travel 3.5 km in 15 minutes approximately. The cost for a round trip ride is between 100 Bs (for Venezuelans) and 110 Bs (for non-Venezuelans). In August 2007, the concession was revoked and the park is once again in the hands of the federal government. In October 2007, it was renamed "Waraira Repano”." However, the hotel project was not as successful (it was never rebuilt or reopened) and despite it has being working on for 13 years, the hotel is still a ruin.
The park area at the top of the mountain is a wide walkway along the ridgeline. Several sellers have set up food or handicraft kiosks. There is also a restaurant and ice skating rink, an enormous Venezuelan flag waving in the breeze, and the ruins of the Humboldt Hotel. Often the top of the mountain has clouds drifting through it, obscuring the view. It is several degrees cooler than Caracas or the coast. When the clouds clear, the city of Caracas can be seen on one side and the coastline on the other side.
