What is Mi Teleférico?
Mi Teleférico is the largest urban cable car network on the planet: 10 lines, 26 stations (36 stops if you count interchanges separately) and more than 30 kilometres of cable connecting La Paz (around 3,600 m / 11,800 ft) with El Alto (around 4,000 m / 13,100 ft). It is not a tourist ride: it is the city’s mass transit system, carrying more than 300,000 trips every day.
Here you will find a page for every line and every station, the network map as a PDF, the current opening hours, the fares, everything about the Yala card and a route planner that tells you which lines to take, where to change and exactly what you will pay.

Frequently asked questions about Mi Teleférico
Mi Teleférico has 10 lines in service (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Orange, White, Light Blue, Purple, Brown and Silver) and 26 stations, which add up to 36 stops if interchanges are counted separately. The network opened in 2014 with the Red Line and was completed in 2019 with the Silver Line.
The standard fare is Bs 3 (about US$0.45) for the first line, plus Bs 2 for every transfer — so a trip with one change costs Bs 5 and a trip with two changes Bs 7. The reduced fare (students, passengers over 60 and passengers with a certified disability) is Bs 1.50 plus Bs 1 per transfer.
Monday to Saturday it runs 06:00 – 23:00 and on Sundays and public holidays 07:00 – 21:00. The extended hours (opening at 06:00) have applied since December 2025 — many guides still publish the old 06:30–22:30. See the opening hours page for details.
No. The system runs continuously: a cabin leaves every 12 seconds, each seating ten people. There is no departure timetable — you arrive, pay, tap through the gate and step into the next cabin that comes round. What can take time is the queue at the ticket window, not the cabin.
You can pay cash at the ticket window, use a physical Mi Teleférico card, or use the Yala virtual card — the official app, which lets you tap through the gate with a QR code, check your balance and top up with a bank card without going to the window. It is all explained on the Yala card page.
No. El Alto International Airport has no cable car station. The closest points are the Avenida 6 de Marzo area (Purple Line) and La Ceja, and from there you need a taxi or a minibus. No Mi Teleférico line enters the airport.
No. In Mi Teleférico transfers are not free: every additional line on the same trip costs Bs 2 more (Bs 1 on the reduced fare). It is charged automatically when you tap through the gate inside the interchange station.
