TelefériQo

The TelefériQo (from teleférico and Quito), or TelefériQo Cruz Loma, is a gondola lift in Quito, Ecuador, running from the edge of the city centre up the east side of Pichincha Volcano to lookout Cruz Loma.

This policy serves as a built-in alert system in case hikers do not return when expected.

Many photo opportunities and observation points await tourists at the top of the lift.

Additionally, there is a public restroom, a small cafe, and a few shops; but much of the retail complex sits unoccupied.

Due to the increased altitude and the wind on the mountain it is cooler than the city and is susceptible to fog, especially in the mornings.
