Teleferico de Merida, Venezuela
From series “The Longest Ski-Lifts and Cable Trams in the World”
Currently the longest cableway in the world is located in Mérida. Teleferiko de Mérida is 12.5 kilometers long. The start station is located near Barinitas. The cable car consists of four sections and lifts passengers on top of Espejo Peak, at height of 4,765 meters above sea level. The ride on the longest cable car in the world lasts less than two hours, during which you can appreciate the beauty of mountain scenery and enjoy panoramic views of Merida in full.
During the ride the funicular makes several stops, so everyone can take a stroll through the most picturesque mountain areas, and then continue his journey to the top. Brave travelers who decide to try the longest cableway in the world have to consider some important features. Difference in height between the upper and lower stations Teleferiko de Mérida is very big, so fast rise can cause poor health. Those who aren’t confident in the ability to quickly acclimate are recommended limit their trip to one of the intermediate stations. Those who are confident in their abilities have to consider that it’s better go for a trip in the early morning. Mountains of Venezuela are often shrouded with fog and clouds at afternoon and they can disturb from admiring local scenery.
