The Metrocable is part of the Metro public transport system. With a special ticket you can transfer to the Metrocable, which is just like a skiing gondola, and takes you over a low income part of Medellin. It's interesting to see the neighborhoods. Once you reach the top, you can connect to another part of the cable (for an additional... More

Daytime safe and efficient way to get to the top of one of Medellin's poor areas. More

Inexpensive (a little over $1), part of the whole Metro system (above ground light rail).
