With 10 lines: Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Orange, White, Sky Blue, Purple, Brown, and Silver - We took 3 journeys on the Red, Silver & Purple lines. The views were stunning at the highest altitude of 3,600 meters above sea level.
The average speed of the gondolas is 11mph. What a wonderful experience to be able to take this tour.
Rising more than 300 metres from La Paz – the worlds highest altitude administrative capital at almost 3,700m – up to the predominantly of El Alto on the plateau, the Mi Telefrico (My Cable Car) system links neighbouring cities that were long seen as social worlds apart.
For decades the main route between the two was a highway that steadily became more congested, polluted and noisy. Now, however, there are three telefrico lines – each named after a colour of the national flag: red, yellow and green – that serenely above the traffic in half or a third of the time.
