Instagram – First shot of the Teleferico (cable car) from the ground

On Sunday, I waited in line for about 4 hours (no exaggeration, longest line ever, there were four distinct moments when I thought of abandoning the queue, giving up) to get on the famous teleferico to ride it to the top of El Avila (2600 meters), the mountain that surrounds and casts a mighty shadow over Caracas.
