The funicular has two stations: one to visit the National Zoo, and another for reaching the summit. The funicular runs for almost 500 meters on a 45 degree incline, departing from Barrio Bellavista. The funicular has two carriages, with one displaying a memorial plaque commemorating his holiness John Paul II, who rode in the carriage in 1987 en route to saying mass at the feet of the Virgin Mary statue located at the hill’s summit.
