Dominican Republic - Santo Domingo - View from Above

Offering fantastic views over the city, the Teleférico de Santo Domingo is an aerial cable car urban transit system in Greater Santo Domingo, operated as part of the Santo Domingo Metro.  It functions as a typical monocable gondola, and runs for 5 kilometers and a total of four stations, and is connected to the Santo Domingo metro system.  The idea for the construction of a gondola arose as an answer to the chaos of traffic during peak hours.  As you pass over the rooftops the sounds of the city come and go somewhat like a radio scanning through the frequencies; music, voices, car horns, dogs and the general city fade in and fade out.
