The Caracas Cable Car is a cable car that ascends the El Ávila mountain within the El Ávila National Park, in Caracas, Venezuela. Opened in 1955 and closed in the 1970s, it underwent unsuccessful reopening attempts until 2000, when it was granted to Empresa Inversora Turística Caracas. Currently, with more than 70 trams in operation, it covers 3.5 km in 15 minutes. Control returned to the government in 2007, renaming the park "Waraira Repano". The Bauhaus-influenced Hotel Humboldt reopened in 2018 after a 13-year restoration. At the top of the mountain, there is a walkway with vendors, kiosks, a restaurant, an ice skating rink, and views of the city and coast, often obscured by clouds.
