The Santiago Cable Car, known locally as "Teleférico de Santiago," is a popular aerial lift located in Santiago, Chile. It operates in the Metropolitan Park of Santiago, providing a scenic route over the park's lush landscapes and offering stunning views of the city and the Andes Mountains. Originally opened in 1980, the cable car system underwent extensive renovations and was reopened in 2016 with modernized cabins and infrastructure. The ride spans approximately 4.8 kilometers and includes several stations, including the Oasis Station at the lower end and the Cumbre Station at the peak of San Cristóbal Hill, where visitors can access the iconic statue of the Virgin Mary and other attractions.
