We’ve put together some questions and answers that may help you with your decision.
Teleférico Santiago operates Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 am to 6:45 pm in the winter schedule and from 10:00 am to 7:45 pm in the summer schedule. The Funicular and the Panoramic Buses run on the same hours. Hours may change due to maintenance or weather.
Enter San Cristóbal Hill through the Pío Nono access and walk up the ramp to reach the Zoo. If you are coming from the summit, you can take the Teleférico Pío Nono Line and get off at Estación Zoológico.
Teleférico Santiago has two lines, each with its own starting station:
Teleférico Pedro de Valdivia:
The starting station is Oasis Station, located at Avenida El Cerro 750, Providencia, at the main entrance to Parque Metropolitano de Santiago (Parquemet).
When entering the park, just a few meters to the right, you will find Oasis Station, the starting point of the most traditional and best-known Teleférico Santiago route.
Teleférico Pío Nono:
The starting station is Zoológico Station, located at Pío Nono 485, Providencia, inside Parque Metropolitano de Santiago (Parquemet).
The station is located next to the entrance of the Metropolitan Zoo, in the same access area as Funicular Santiago, and it is the starting point of the new Teleférico Pío Nono route.
Important: both lines connect at the summit of San Cristóbal Hill, and the stations in that area are within walking distance of each other.
The nearest metro station is Pedro de Valdivia (Line 1). You must get off there and walk along Av. Pedro de Valdivia for approximately 15 to 17 minutes until you reach the entrance to San Cristóbal Hill.
The price depends on the ticket you choose (round trip on one line, combined routes with the Funicular or combos such as the Full Pass), the day of your visit (weekday or weekend) and each passenger’s age. There are reduced fares for children (under 12) and seniors (60 and over), and children under 2 ride free. Check current prices on the tickets page.

Yes, you can access a preferential rate by presenting your SENADIS-issued credential at the ticket office.
Yes, people in wheelchairs can board Teleférico Santiago. They must go to Oasis Station or Zoo Station, where we have an elevator up to the boarding area. In these cases, the person in the wheelchair may be accompanied by up to 2 additional visitors in the cabin. Our staff will take care of the corresponding boarding process for any visitor who needs assistance. Please always follow staff instructions.
