What a great view of the city. It was a very windy day when we took the Teleferico (we were staying at Hotel del Bosque - now Hotel Baruk) and were puzzled by the pricing for the tram ride. We hadn't "copped" to the "senior" deals, and our collective Spanish was not good enough to appreciate the "round-trip" pricing advantage,... More

Recent reviews have hit the nail on the head. The Teleferico is a one of a kind experience. A word of advice ...... the museums in Zacatacas close on rotating days of the week. If you are hoping to see the museum about the Revolution and Pancho Villa best to check before you go across. The ride is still worth... More

Spectacular views giving you a completely different perspective of the city. Go on th Teleferico and then spend time on Cerro de la Buffa which it connects to and you will have an enjoyable and different experience.

Spectacular views are only half the story. Once you take the cable car ride over to the mountain you also get to enjoy a beautiful church and museum in addition to outdoor restaurants for lunch, some touristy shops (nothing very interesting) and a zip ride for the more adventurous!

nice challenge if anyone is height wary, short enough not to worry. Gives perfect "big picture" of city, setting the scene to further understand historical significance of sites and city

At the suggestion of a local Zacatecan friend, I enjoyed a relaxing, scenic afternoon on the Teleferico. Beautiful blue skies, the colorful city below, the massive climbs up stone-lined hills and incredible views of the area made it all well worth the price to ride across to the bufa and back. Our guide was humorous, resembling a Mexican Andy Warhol,... More

Great views of the city from the teleferico and the hill, and the ride itself is interesting. Clean, easy to access; do it!

While you are walking around this historic city you will notice the cable car pass back and forth all day. So the thing to do is go take a ride yourself. Be ready to walk up a long flight of stairs to get to the main station, or take a taxi if you are a smoker.

If you go to Zacatecas, you most definitely wanna try the Teleférico. With it, you are gonna get an incredible aerial view of the city.. plus, you end at another mountain in which there's a little pretty church and a little mountain you can climb if you are into climbing! Best pictures from Zacatecas are from there. You can see... More

First of all the 'chairlift' from one side of the city valley to the other is just a nice and cheap way to see the city if you are there. One side is among the city and an easy stroll through quaint streets and sidewalks. The other side which it takes you to is the high point of the city... More
