The aerial lift arrives you to one of the famous sites in Caracas, the "Ávila" or now it's called "Warairarepano". You can view all the valley bellow your feet, the perfect hour is in the night to see all the city's light.
I have been there an Teleferico to Avila hill is a very good price choice (BS 200), is about 15 minutes going up and when you arrive there is a very beautiful and calm place, good to drink some hot chocolate and read a book, you can also ice skating on the rink there and is very cheap (BS 200).
The Caracas Aerial Tramway ascends El Ávila Mountain within El Ávila National Park, in Caracas, Venezuela. The park area at the top of the mountain is a wide walkway along the ridgeline. Several sellers have set up food or handicraft kiosks. There is also a restaurant and ice skating rink, an enormous Venezuelan flag waving in the breeze, and the ruins of the Humboldt Hotel. Often the top of the mountain has clouds drifting through it, obscuring the view. It is several degrees cooler than Caracas or the coast. When the clouds clear, the city of Caracas can be seen on one side and the coastline on the other side.
This ride is safe, clean, and inexpensive. It also offers a great sight of the mountains and the city of Caracas.
This is the perfect place to see the beauty that Caracas has to offer you, you will find something to eat but is not that good!
My advice: Take the teleferico when you are coming down from El Avila (no waiting lines up there). Going up, you'll have to wait half a day to get on it. Lines are long and slow, mostly mornings.If you want to go up El Avila, it's better to take a car. You can hire a transportation service outside Hotel Avila in San Bernardino. It'll take you half hour. Views are amazing, you have to experience this ride if you come to Caracas.
A ride to the Cerro Avila with a magnificent view of the huge city of Caracas.Nothing expensive, although the staff is not properly friendly.Do not miss!
I hate heights. I am deathly afraid of cable cars. Why do I do this to myself? The world may never know... I had a mini panic attack on the way up as soon as I felt the height, but once I was able to calm down, the views are amazing. The cable cars only fit about 10 people, so you can see pretty much everything around you, and there's so much to see - including a huge void in between two mountains which felt horrible in my stomach but I just couldn't look away! Once you get to the top and out of the car (and kiss the ground if you're me) you're in a much colder weather than down in the city, and there's something whimsical about the fog and the architecture. Warairarepano/Galipan (the name of the area above the mountains) is very pretty and filled with vendor spaces that sell knits, food (from churros to arepas and other national staple items), hot chocolate, and more! It's a very nice family-friendly attraction, and beautiful to witness. I went during the day, and we had a little rain but it wasn't bad, it rather kind of added to the experience. I've heard some people go at night and it's gorgeous, but my heart really can't take that, so I'll just take their word for it :)
A nice view of the mountain. At the top we can find installations that should be upgraded or working. The walk is very nice
Local crushes, friendly people and typical art add to an amazing ride on cable car up the mountain and back
