The Funicular that daily transports the inhabitants of the capital and tourists, was finished in 1928 and inaugurated officially on August 18, 1929. Since then, this small train has slowly ascended towards the peak of Monserrate, in a parsimonious way that allows its passengers the contemplation of nature and landscape that is being left behind as they reach the 3,152 meters above sea level, where its superior station lies.
Unlike streetcars and trolleys, that nowadays are museum pieces for the youngest, the history of Monserrate's Funicular has been continued, step by step, meter to meter, 3.2 meters per second to be precise. |  |
And like who tries to resist time, in December, 2003, the Funicular initiated a new phase with a more modern design in its cars, that now open their doors to the sky with a crystal ceiling, so that nobody can lose a single detail of the forests that surround the city, the beautiful panoramic view and beautiful sunsets.
