Summary: We arrived early, 10:00 and didn't wait even 20 minutes in line until we got up. We buy the tickets on site, being much cheaper than any agency (you can trust). The rotating confectionery is a plus to warm up and is characteristic of the place (the queue did not take 10 minutes). The view is wonderful and a unique experience. When we got down, it was already 1:00 and the queues were huge! Then stay the tip!

Summary: To get to Otto Hill you go up by cable car with a closed cabin. Recommended a clear day to appreciate the views, I could not see them because it was raining and everything was cloudy. But they have a circuit to entertain, like a climbing wall, a maze, a suspension bridge and zip line.

Summary: Visit on 17/07/2023 Unlike the Cerro Campanario Teleférico, this is in the shape of a cabin. Brings more safety and comfort. The view is spectacular and the climb is long. Justify the amount charged.
