Ride the highest cable car in the world. Nestled in an old town of quaint Quito in Ecuador is a refreshing ascent to one of the highest aerial lifts in the world, rising from 3,117 m (10,226 ft) to 3,945 m (12,943 ft). This TeleferiQo, as it is called, (has turned 11 years old this July in 2016.) At the top of the cable car, there is a restaurant, coffee shop and a souvenir store. The 15-km hike begins when the ascent on the cable car ends. The ascent takes around 20 min. Keep your camera ready to fire as you will witness awesome views from your window like cloud laden Andes mountain, panoramic view of Quito and of course the cable car—the engineering marvel at such a remote site.
