Overview
- The Miraflores teleférico is in marcha blanca soft testing and has completed mechanical and operational certification to European standards, municipal officials reported on Thursday.
- The system runs a 305‑metre route between Parque Domodósola and Playa Redondo, takes about two minutes per trip, and uses two 15‑passenger cabins in a vaivén (back-and-forth) configuration.
- The roughly US$10 million municipal project will be operated by Consorcio Zigzag Teleféricos and uses Doppelmayr technology supplied by the Austrian firm.
- Key outstanding items before an official opening are installation of an accessibility elevator to serve people with disabilities and older adults, plus final adjustments and a differentiated tariff schedule for residents, national tourists and foreign visitors.
- The installation includes space for up to two bicycles or two surfboards per cabin and will deploy permanent rescue personnel with harnesses, a setup meant to shorten seaside trips, boost visitor views of Larcomar and change short‑distance transport patterns in Miraflores.
