Teleferico de Caracas
Seen within El Avila National Park, Teleferico de Caracas is a gondola lift that brings passengers on a ride above the El Avila Mountain. It is one of the best tourist attractions in Venezuela.The gondola was first launched in 1953, though it had been closed for many years before it was reopened in 2000. There are more 70 tram cars that carry tourists on the 3.5-kilometer trip up the mountain. The 15-minute trip provides breathtaking views of the mountaintop and its neighborhood. At the summit, tourists can enjoy the remains of the Humboldt Hotel, eat food at one of the restaurants or food kiosks, enjoy ice skating, or purchase souvenirs from the plenty of stores selling handicrafts.
