The project

Inaugurated in 1979, the Zacatecas gondola lift, located in the historic centre of Zacatecas City, transports in the region of 320,000 people a year.

Still very popular with tourists and residents of the State capital, the gondola lift was upgraded in 2018. It was replaced by a detachable gondola lift equipped with the DirectDrive® motor to ensure optimum environmental performance. The Cerro del Grillo and Cerro de la Bufa stations were redesigned and the cabins were retrofitted to enhance passenger safety.
