Teleferico del Puerto

Introduction

Medellin's aerial cable car (Metrocable) is the city's proudest symbol of innovation and transformation. Medellin sits in a narrow Andean valley; many poor communities built on steep slopes had poor transport, once a hotspot of violence and poverty. In the early 21st century, Medellin pioneeringly added aerial cable cars to the public transit system, seamlessly linking with the metro—cable lines connect the valley-bottom city with the high hillside communities, greatly improving residents' mobility, and becoming a symbol of the city's "social inclusion" and renewal, transforming Medellin from the former "narco city" into a vibrant city winning innovation awards. For visitors, riding the cable car through the valley is a unique, stunning experience—below, Medellin's dense, colorful brick houses spread layer upon layer up the steep slopes to both valley sides—astounding; climbing to the top (toward Arvi Park) you can overlook the whole city's grand panorama. Riding the cable car to overlook the valley metropolis and feel the city's transformation story—the Metrocable is Medellin's unmissable unique experience.
