Day 14: The View!
June 14th, 2012
Back to sight seeing until Jess’s birthday! From my guest bedroom, I can see these cable cars in the distance. They looked really interesting so I asked Jess’s mother about it and she told me the cars are apart of El Teleferico, which takes people over a distance of 3.5 miles to see the view and visit the hotel on the other side. I really wanted to go, but apparently the best time to go on the cable cars is early in the morning so you can beat the large amount of people who ride it in the afternoon and just because it’s just beautiful to see the sunrise over the mountain.
Surprisingly, it only took about 15 minutes to make it to the highest peak. El Teleferico was opened on September 29, 1955 and it still runs fantastically with small repairs and improvements here and there. This high elevation is making everything cold, but luckily I brought a sweater with me! The sight from the top is absolutely amazing, Jess’s mom was right. The sunrise casting light on everything makes it all shimmer. Absolutely breath taking. I wish I could stare at it forever, but unfortunately other people want to see it too so the cart has to keep moving! Oh well, at least I got some pictures!
The view!
