Trams in Bogotá

The aerial tramway or cable car to Monserrate mountain began its construction on August 13, 1953 and was inaugurated on September 27, 1955; in a bicable modality with two cabins that transport 40 passengers each.

The 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in)[1] gauge funicular transports daily the inhabitants of the capital and tourists; it was finished in 1928 and inaugurated officially on August 18, 1929.

Since that time, this small train has slowly ascended towards the peak of Monserrate, gradually allowing its passengers the contemplation of nature and landscape that is being left behind as they reach the 3,152 meters or 10,341 ft above sea level, where its upper station lies.

In its trip of only 4 minutes, the cable car rises with its big windows on its sides, offering a great view of the hill that makes contrast with the beautiful panoramic of the city.

The dense vegetation of the high trees tops leave us a sensation of direct bonding between earth and sky.
