The perfect way to see and ride Medellin’s famous Cable Car.
The cable car, rather than a touristic attraction as it is generally conceived around the world, is an efficient mobility solution to integrate the poorest barrios or comunas into, allowing people from these margined sectors to have direct and easy access to the subway system. Medellin was the first city in the world to implement the use of cable cars in its public transportation system.
In the northeast of the city the most iconic cable car line can be found, in the Acevedo metro station, which connects the Line A of the Metro with the Line K of the cable car, which goes all the way up to Santo Domingo Savio, and then crosses all the way to Parque Arvi, our largest reservoir and Medellín’s main lung, right at the other side of the mountain.
Doing this 2-3 hours self-guided tour is a must, not only because of the breathtaking views while riding the cable car, but also because you get to walk around this beautiful park.
