Teleferiqo in Quito Ecuador, the height its 4050 mts at sea level in the Pichincha volcano.
Pichincha is an active volcano in the country of Ecuador, whose capital Quito wraps around its eastern slopes. The mountain's two highest peaks are the Guagua (15,696 feet/4,784 m), which means "child" in Quechua and the Rucu (15, 413 feet/4,698 m), which means "old person". The active caldera is in the Guagua, on the western side of the mountain.

Both peaks are visible from the city of Quito and are easily climbed. Guagua is usually accessed from the village Lloa outside of Quito

-Español-
El Proyecto Teleferiqo de Quito se encuentra ubicado sobre la Av. Occidental a la altura de la Av. La Gasca, donde se puede disfrutar de la belleza de la ciudad, de los valles, nevados y de todo un mágico entorno natural y ecológico. La estacion de salida esta a 2.950 m.s.n.m y la estacion de llegada a 4.050 m.s.n.m

El Pichincha es un volcán en Ecuador. La capital ecuatoriana, Quito, se encuentra en sus faldas.

Presenta varias cumbres, que en la siguiente lista están mencionadas desde la geológicamente más vieja al noreste hasta la más nueva al suroeste. Algunos de los nombres de las cumbres fueron derivados del quechua.

This is my POV of the city (Quito)and the telepheric and some of the pichincha volcano..
At the top of the volcano it was a lot of wind, it was cool out there but if you remain for several minutes it can became to be cold.
Hope you like it.

Comments are welcome!
Regards
Jessica
