When I last visited Venezuela, the old cable car system wasn't working any more. They had a European company come in and build something completely new, and it's wonderful. The ticket cost was 15,000 Bolivares and will soon be 20,000. A 15-minute ride (give or take five minutes) takes you to the top of Mount Avila, where quiet awaits. What a great escape from the bustle of Caracas. Take a sweater or jacket since it's very cool at the top. You should have a beautiful view of the entire valley. This was my favorite activity in the capital of Venezuela and I highly recommend it to all.
