Mérida Cable Car
Mérida Cable Car, also known as Mukumbar, is a Venezuelan cable car system. The Mérida Cable Car is made up of four cable cars that are connected in a series, making it easy to travel across 12.5 kilometers and navigate the rough terrain between Mérida and the Espejo Peak.
While you may have chances to experience in the ropeways and cable cars, however, the Merasa Cable Car is unique. It is the world's highest cable car system. It begins in Mérida at an elevation of 1,640 meters and ends at 4,765 meters on Pico Espejo. Any tourist should not miss this vertigo-inducing ride. This 12.5-kilometer long ride shows all of the major tourist sites, including places that are ordinarily difficult to visit. Another interesting fact is that the Pico Espejo, the penultimate destination, is named after Mica Muscovite. It's a very bright rock that reflects the light when the sun shines on it.
