Future projects in
Latin America
Urban ropeways have long been an important part
of local public transit systems in Latin America.
Inspired by the success of existing installations,
further projects are now in the pipeline for
Colombia, Mexico and Chile.

Doppelmayr has already implemented
numerous innovative ropeway projects in
Latin America. These installations are
much more than purely a means of
transport. They improve quality of life for
millions of people, make a major contribution
to the mobility transformation, and
provide better access to workplaces,
schools and social amenities. In the
course of the next five years, five more
urban ropeways from Doppelmayr will be
going into service in Latin America.
Three ropeways in Bogotá
In Colombia, three Doppelmayr urban
ropeways are set to make life easier for
people who live in the capital, Bogotá. In
addition to the TransMiCable installation
that opened in the Ciudad Bolívar
neighborhood back in 2018, another two
10-passenger gondola lifts are currently
under construction. From 2026, one of
these will link the southeastern locality of
San Cristóbal with its 400,000 inhabitants
