Metrocable

Medellín’s Metrocable, a transformative urban cable car system, was built in the aftermath of Pablo Escobar’s reign to connect the city’s poorer hilltop barrios with the urban center. Spanning the steep slopes of the Andes, the Metrocable not only serves as an essential mode of public transport but also opens up previously isolated neighborhoods to visitors. Today, riders can experience a unique aerial journey, offering panoramic views of the city and access to areas that were once difficult to reach, fostering a sense of integration and community.
