Orizaba's newest attraction (opened in 2014) is this cable car, which rattles and sways visitors from its riverside site across from the Palacio Municipal right up to the top of the Cerro del Borrego hill for incredible views over the city and easy access to hiking routes. It takes just five minutes to travel nearly a kilometer and climb some 320m. Vertigo sufferers will probably just have to ask people to describe the view to them!
It's a fab excursion and once you reach the top of the Cerro del Borrego you'll find signed walking trails and an 'eco-park' which has picnic areas, a small military museum, playgrounds and, between 1pm and 6pm on weekends, a recreation of a military battle that took place here in the late 19th century.
