Description
A passenger in a gondola on the Red Line enjoys spectacular views over early morning fog covering Bolivia's administrative capital, La Paz (which lies in the valley below). This new cable car system (which opened officially in May 2014) connects La Paz with the city of El Alto. The network is still being extended and is the largest urban Cable-Propelled Transit (CPT) system in the world as well as the highest (central La Paz is at an altitude of around 3650m / 11,970ft, El Alto 4,050m / 13,280ft). The peak is Mt Illimani (6439m / 21,125ft), Bolivia's second highest mountain and symbol of the city.
