The Mérida Cable Car (Spanish: Teleférico de Mérida) was the world's highest cable car. Its base is located in the Venezuelan city of Mérida at an altitude of 1,640 metres (5,380 ft), and its terminus is on Pico Espejo, at 4,765 metres (15,633 ft). The whole system was opened to the public in 1960; it was closed indefinitely in 2008, with a declaration that it had reached the end of its service life and is being rebuilt. The Mérida cable car is the highest and largest cable car in the world.
