The world’s tallest cable car is in Mérida. It starts in Mérida (the city) at 5,400 feet (1,640 m) and ends near the summit of Bolívar Peak at 15,630 feet (4,765 m), in three stages spanning a length of 7.8 miles (12.f km). Opened in 1960, it has been unfortunately closed to public on August 11, 2008, since the cable system had reached the end of its useful life. You can still make the ascension by foot, if you dare.
