❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What are the opening hours of the Durango Cable Car?

The cable car generally operates from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and is closed on Mondays for maintenance. We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before closing to ensure your ride and enjoy the city's night views.

How much does a ticket for the cable car cost?

Fares are very affordable, with an approximate cost of MXN 50 for a round trip and special discounts for children and older adults. Tickets are purchased directly at the ticket booths located at the Cerro del Calvario station or the Cerro de los Remedios station.

How much time do I need for the full visit?

The ride in the cabins lasts about 5 to 7 minutes, but we suggest allowing at least 45 minutes for your visit. This will give you enough time to go up, enjoy the viewpoint, take photographs, and visit the temple at the top without rushing.

Why is the cable car important for the city of Durango?

Opened in 2010, this system connects the historic heart of the city with the iconic Cerro de los Remedios, offering a unique perspective on colonial architecture. It is a cultural meeting point that allows visitors to appreciate the urban layout and the geographical beauty of the Guadiana valley.

What is the best time of day to visit?

The golden hour at sunset is unbeatable for watching the sun go down as the city lights begin to turn on. If you prefer to avoid crowds and enjoy a clear view, the morning, just after opening, is ideal.

Are the facilities accessible for wheelchair users?

Yes, the Durango Cable Car has inclusive infrastructure, including ramps and elevators at both stations. The staff is trained to assist with boarding, making the experience comfortable and safe for visitors with reduced mobility.

What other attractions can I visit near the stations?

At the top you will find the Temple of Our Lady of Remedies and a spectacular viewpoint; below, you will be just steps from the Historic Center. To enrich your visit to the area, we recommend using a cultural audio guide that will reveal the city's secrets.

What practical recommendations should I keep in mind before going?

Wear comfortable clothing and bring a light jacket, as there is often a cool breeze at the top of the hill even in summer. Also, ask at the lower station about transfers to the Old West Promenade, which are often coordinated from nearby points.
