El Teleférico Curubí en San Gil, Colombia, eleva a los visitantes 850 metros sobre el valle del río Fonce, revelando panorámicas impresionantes de la naturaleza andina y el Magdalena Medio.
The Curití Cable Car operates intermittently on weekends and public holidays, generally between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, depending on visitor numbers. It is essential to confirm the schedule before your visit by calling the information center or checking the official website to avoid surprises. I recommend checking the Chicamocha National Park (Panachi) website, as the cable car is part of this complex.
The Curití Cable Car ticket is included in the general admission to Chicamocha National Park (Panachi). For 2024, general admission for adults is around COP 30,000. You can buy tickets directly at the park ticket offices or, sometimes, through online platforms in the Panachi rates section.
The ride on the Curití Cable Car lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes each way, offering spectacular views. However, to fully enjoy all the attractions and activities at Chicamocha National Park (Panachi), where the cable car is located, I recommend setting aside at least half a day, around 4 to 6 hours.
Absolutely! The Curití Cable Car was inaugurated in 2007 and is one of the longest cable cars in South America, crossing the impressive Chicamocha Canyon. This canyon is a geological wonder, the second largest of its kind in the world, with a history stretching back thousands of years to the formation of the Earth, a true testament to the power of Andean nature.
For the best views and pleasant weather, I suggest visiting the Curití Cable Car early in the morning (9:00 AM) or in mid-afternoon (after 2:00 PM), when the sun is less intense. The dry season (December to March and July to August) is usually the most recommended to avoid rain, although sunrises and sunsets are spectacular at any time of year.
Yes, the Curití Cable Car has spacious cabins that can accommodate wheelchairs. However, it is advisable to contact the Chicamocha National Park administration in advance to arrange any special assistance and ensure the best experience. You can reach them through the numbers listed in the Panachi contact section.
San Gil is the tourist capital of Santander, and there is plenty to see. Near the cable car and Panachi, you can explore the beautiful town of Curití, famous for its fique production. In addition, San Gil offers adventure activities such as rafting, paragliding, and visits to Las Gachas Stream in Guadalupe.
Of course! Bring sunscreen, a hat or cap, sunglasses, and enough water, as the sun can be intense. Dress in layers because the temperature can vary. If you suffer from vertigo, the cabins are safe, but look toward the horizon. And, of course, do not forget your camera to capture the stunning canyon views. Get ready for an unforgettable experience!
